The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has threatened to shut down all filling stations and reduce supply unless the Federal Government and Inspector General of Police address police force illegalities to its members.

National Public Relation Officer (PRO) of IPMAN, Yakubu Suleiman, said this on Sunday, in an interview with journalists in Jos, the Plateau State capital.

Some men of the Nigerian Police Force were alleged to have invaded IPMAN National Secretariat last Friday for some undisclosed reasons.

Suleiman in reaction described the invasion as an illegal clampdown allegedly sponsored by some impostors parading themselves as executives of IPMAN.

He, therefore, called on all arms of government including the security agencies to take the necessary action, towards halting impunity in the downstream sector of the petroleum industry.
