Former Nigerian Senator, Shehu Sani, has issued a stern warning to residents of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, urging them to refrain from looting government warehouses. This comes in the wake of recent incidents where hoodlums raided a strategic food store in Tasha, Abuja, making off with essential supplies and valuables.
The FCT Police Command swiftly responded to the situation, apprehending 15 suspects and recovering some of the stolen items. In a related incident, there was an attempted raid on a factory warehouse in the Idu Industrial District, Jabi, Abuja.
Expressing his dismay on social media, Senator Shehu implored the residents of Abuja to desist from such acts of lawlessness. He emphasized, “My dear Abuja residents, why did you invade and loot the Government food warehouse. Don’t repeat it please.”
The surge in looting of government warehouses can be attributed to the prevailing economic hardships facing Nigeria. As citizens grapple with financial difficulties, some have resorted to desperate measures to secure essential supplies.
It is crucial for the community to heed Senator Shehu’s call and refrain from engaging in criminal activities. By upholding law and order, residents can contribute to the stability and well-being of the FCT.
Let us stand together in solidarity and strive towards a peaceful and prosperous future for all.
