After destroying, you people will tell us when you"ll biild new ones oo...iranu!

What is the quality of the fuel being refined there? If their refined product is not causing damage on the machinery it is being used on then their creativity should be harnessed rather than just burning them down!

The best to have happened to this illegal facilities to ease this current fuel situation is to harness this talents rather than arresting them and destroying their facilities would have been more wiser for the government !!

Keep the good work going, may God save you guys.
