Residents of Gwagwalada in Federal Capital Territory, Abuja have stormed a warehouse containing COVID-19 palliatives, carting away the food items.
The looted items include rice, semovita, macaroni, spaghetti, sugar, salt, and fertilizers.
The warehouse which is located near West African Examination Council (WAEC) office, is said to contain items belonging to the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA).
The youths had earlier broken into a warehouse at Jabi district close to the code of conduct tribunal.
Notwithstanding the presence of soldiers and policemen, the looters made away with various bagged items and stationeries.
The situation is worse at another warehouse at Idu industrial area where some of the looters who were unable to lay their hands on COVID-19 palliatives vandalized the place removing windows and door frames.
