Making Calls At Filling Stations Is Now A Crime — Police by emma321(m): 6:32am On Dec 31, 2017
The police have said that making phone calls at filling stations is a criminal offence which could land the offender in jail.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Jimoh Moshood, stated that an offender could be prosecuted and jailed for attempted arson.

He noted that police officers have the authority to arrest anyone found making phone calls or smoking at filling stations.

He described the filling station as a public facility where motorists cannot act as they like on account of the inflammable products like petrol and other petroleum products being dispensed there.

Moshood, therefore, cautioned the public against violating the safety rules forbidding smoking and phone calls at filling stations.

He said, “Making phone calls or smoking at filling stations is a criminal offence and the police, of course, could arrest anyone violating the safety rules put in place to safeguard life and property at the filling stations.”

I don't think this news is true. But I know making calls in petrol stations is usually discouraged. Can someone please explain to me like I'm 5yrs old the relationship between phone calls and petrol explosion?

Never knew it is this easy to make laws!


What is the jail time prescribed for offenders, and by what law? Not just enough to say they will end up in jail.


Watch and see how policemen would move their illegal roadblocks to filling stations!

Electromagnetic Radiation
The two-way communication between your
phone and the network tower takes place
through electromagnetic waves – invisible
waves that race to the network tower and
return to your phone in seconds! These waves
have energy values in the range of 1.24
Megaelectron-Volts to 12.4 Peta-
electronvolts. It is assumed that this
electromagnetic radiation is a cause of
concern; because they carry so much energy,
they may cause sparks and consequently
ignite gas, which could cause monumental
damage in a place like a gas station!
