Angry youths loot COVID-19 palliative warehouse in Osun

Several youths on Friday broke into a warehouse in Ede town where COVID-19 palliatives were kept and carted away food items.

The warehouse is located at the moribund Cocoa-Ceramic Industry in Ede.

Some of the items carted away include beans, noodles, sugar, salt, garri, rice and pasta.

It was gathered that residents made no attempt to stop them.

One of the youths Mufu Akano told NAN that he was happy to be among those who will go home “with what belongs to us”.

Akano noted that the food palliatives which were supposed to be distributed to residents in the state were locked up for some unexplained reasons and agenda which he considered “evil”.

He commended the looters which included commercial motorcyclists for their courage.
