Some residents of the Federal Capital Territory resorted to looting a warehouse reportedly owned by the National Emergency Management Agency, situated in the Phase 3 Region of Abuja, amidst prevailing economic challenges across the nation.
In a viral video on social media, individuals were seen breaking into the warehouse, seizing various food items. A bystander’s narration in the video depicted the scale of the looting.
Confirming the incident, FCT command spokesperson Josephine Adeh stated, “The situation is now under control,” assuring that authorities are managing the aftermath.
This incident echoes recent protests in Lagos and Ibadan against escalating food prices and the overall economic downturn. In Lagos, human rights groups took to the streets to voice their grievances, while youths in Ibadan staged protests over similar concerns.
