Place
Channels Television, the cited source, gives two places. The tanker was "intercepted along the Akoko/Lokoja Expressway in Ondo State" and the driver "abandoned the tanker at a church premises in Ugbe Akoko". The report names no local government area. This news item gives Ugbe Akoko as the locality and Akoko North-East under Ondo State.
Attribution
The reports read give one destination, Jos, for the fuel cargo carried alongside the cannabis, and the outlets word it differently.
| Outlet | Wording |
|---|---|
| Channels Television (cited) | "legitimate fuel cargo reportedly destined for Jos, Plateau State" |
| Daily Trust | "legitimate fuel cargo destined for Jos, Plateau State" |
| Guardian Nigeria | "alongside its legitimate fuel cargo" and no destination |
