Dangote-backed MRS filling stations have reduced their petrol price to N1,318 per litre, making it cheaper than prices offered by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and other marketers.

Checks by DAILY POST on Thursday showed that MRS dropped its fuel price from N1,360 to N1,318 per litre across its retail outlets in Abuja.

The price adjustment places the filling station between N12 and N32 cheaper than NNPCL, NIPCO, AA Rano and other petroleum product marketers in Abuja.

Speaking on the development, a station manager at MRS, who preferred anonymity, said the adjusted fuel price was possible because the outlet receives its petrol products directly from Dangote Refinery.

Earlier, NNPCL, NIPCO and AA Rano reduced their retail fuel prices to N1,335, N1,330 and N1,350 per litre, respectively, on Wednesday.

The latest fuel price reduction comes days after Dangote Refinery slashed its petrol and diesel gantry prices nationwide to N1,250 per litre and N1,700 per litre, respectively.

On Thursday, Dangote Refinery ramped up its refining capacity to 700,000 barrels per day, indicating that more petroleum products would be available to Nigeria and other African countries.

Currently, Brent and West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices stand at $95 and $93 per barrel, respectively, as of the time of filing this report.

The Nigerian Police Force has arrested Ifechukwu Dennis, the man identified as the originator of an AI-generated voice note that was widely circulated online as a leaked recording of President Bola Tinubu.

Presidential Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, announced the arrest on Thursday in a post on his official X account.

“The IGP crack team has arrested Ifechukwu Dennis who originated the fake voice that he passed on to his gullible targets as President Tinubu’s voice,” he said.

The arrest closes a week-long controversy that began on May 27, 2026, when a video of social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, went viral.

In the clip, an AI-generated voice resembling Tinubu’s was heard making inflammatory statements — including that insecurity in the South-East was deliberate, that he had pressured Peter Obi to step down ahead of the 2023 election, and that he was indifferent to Nigerians’ suffering.

Investigations by multiple news organisations, however, established that VDM had not posted the doctored audio.

An unidentified individual had extracted footage from VDM’s original Instagram video and superimposed the AI-generated voice notes before recirculating the manipulated version online.

Despite this, the Presidency had initially called for VDM’s prosecution.

Onanuga had described the incident as “a clear case of egregious abuse of the social media platform,” drawing criticism after fact-checkers confirmed VDM’s original video contained none of the fabricated audio.

Further details on the circumstances of Dennis’s arrest and the charges he may face were not immediately available at the time of filing this report.
