Following the looting of food warehouses belonging to the National Emergency Management Agency by suspected hoodlums in the Federal Capital Territory, the police have tightened security at the agencies’s warehouses nationwide.
This came 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 used in the production, processing, and packaging of various agro-commodities including grains, rice, pulses, and edible oil.
A video clip seen by our correspondent showed some of the arrested suspects lying on the ground as armed soldiers stood over them.
In recent times, several incidents of attacks and looting of warehouses and food trucks have been reported in many cities against the lingering economic hardship.
