In a troubling development, residents of Abuja have once again engaged in looting, this time targeting a truck carrying food items in the Dei-Dei area on Monday morning, March 4.
This incident occurred just 24 hours after another instance of looting, where residents raided a warehouse belonging to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Department of Agriculture on Sunday, carting away various foodstuff and other items.
A video circulating on social media captures the scene of Abuja residents stealing bags of food items from the truck. Imran Muhammad, a user who shared the video online, described the incident as yet another case of looting in Dei-Dei, Abuja.
Meanwhile, Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, has weighed in on the situation, attributing Sunday’s looting of the government warehouse to the frustration felt by many Nigerians regarding the economic policies of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Speaking on Channels Television’s breakfast show, ‘The Morning Brief’, Adegboruwa emphasized that the looting serves as a message to the President and his economic team, highlighting the urgent need to reform the system to ensure the survival of Nigerians.
He stated, “Across all states in Nigeria presently, there is a crisis of survival from the part of the people. So, it is not just this particular occurrence, a truck bearing foodstuff was randomly attacked and looted. I do not support this in any way at all because we must have an environment where we can secure lives and property.”
