Fuel imported into Nigeria said to be extremely toxic and of lower quality than what is produced on the black market, with serious health consequences the results of a laboratory analysis show.

This is the finding of the international resource monitoring group, Stakeholder Democracy Network; that oil stolen from rudimentary refineries is less polluting than the highly toxic diesel and gasoline that Europe exports to Nigeria.
