The Brega Oil Marketing Company on Friday, called on security authorities to protect the company’s drivers due to repeated attacks on fuel transportation vehicles.

The company announced that its drivers had begun strike action since Friday morning in protest of the repeated attacks against them, declaring that they would not assume responsibility for any congestion which may occur at the stations as a result of the strike.

It indicated that fuel is available in the company’s warehouses, clarifying that the closing of some gas stations to citizens is as a direct result of attacks on fuel truck drivers on the airport road.
