The Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company (BOST) has detected adulteration of products involving nine Bulk Road Vehicles (tankers) at its Kumasi depot in the Ashanti Region.
According to a statement issued by BOST on Tuesday, October 12, 2021, the pre-discharge testing of the product aboard the nine tanker trucks confirmed that the chemical composition of the product at the destination differed from what was loaded on the truck.
The statement said one of the tanker drivers is in custody and assisting in investigations while the eight others are at large.
The statement assured the public that none of the adulterated products will find their way into the BOST tanks and for that matter the market.
“The company wishes to further assure the public that the reported incident has not affected our
operations in any way and our fuel safety and security as a country is assured,” the statement said.
