This transaction has led to the loss of around Gh¢14 million by the State.

Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC) and the African Centre for Energy Policy (ACEP) over the decision have called for an investigation into the matter.

The NPA says it has obtained samples of the suspected contaminated fuel from tank farms belonging to BOST on the Accra Plains.

Samples from eight tankers on the premises of Zup Oil-the depot where the oil is to be discharged have also been extracted for testing to confirm whether the contaminated product is intact.
