Tight Security At NEMA Stores As Hoodlums Loot FCT Warehouses

The police have increased security at the warehouses belonging to the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) nationwide as a result of the looting of food warehouses in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, on Sunday, by suspected hoodlums.

This was as soldiers foiled an attempt to raid a factory warehouse at the Idu Industrial District, Jabi, Abuja, on Sunday morning, arresting five of the attackers.

The factory was involved in the production, processing, and packaging of various agro-commodities including grains, rice, pulses, and edible oil.

The Abuja incident happened around 9.30am on Sunday shortly after some hoodlums attacked a warehouse belonging to the Agricultural and Rural Development Secretariat of the FCT Administration located in the Dei-Dei area of the capital city.
