SERIOUS ECONOMIC HARDSHIP in Africa’s most populous nation has compelled some residents of the Federal Capital Territory to hold their destinies in their hands and eke out a way to survive the impact of poverty in the nation. These residents raided and plundered a warehouse belonging to the National Emergency Management Agency of Nigeria (NEMA).
It was learnt that the warehouse was raided on Sunday morning.
The warehouse is located in Karimo, Phase 3 Region of the FCT, Abuja.
It was gathered that the residents carted away foodstuffs and other items.
Personnel of the Nigeria Police Force in Abuja have been deployed to the area to disperse the looters and secure the building.
The spokesperson for the FCT Police Command, Josephine Adeh, confirmed the incidence.
She, however, added that the situation had been brought under control.
“The situation is now under control,” she said.
Many Nigerians have been lamenting hardship following the removal of fuel subsidy and the devaluation of the naira after it was floated by President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The economic policies of the administration have pushed up the prices of goods drastically and rate of inflation.
