Looting of NEMA warehouse, symptom of impending revolution – Shehu Sani warns
Former lawmaker and social critic, Senator Shehu Sani, has
reacted to the alleged looting of a warehouse belonging to the National
Emergency Management Agency of Nigeria, NEMA, by some residents of the Federal
Capital Terrritory, FCT.
According to Sani, the development is a dangerous symptom of
an impending revolution.
Some residents of the FCT had looted a
warehouse belonging to the NEMA amid the current economic hardship across the
country.
It was gathered that the residents carted away foodstuffs
and other items.
“Masses looting foodstuffs from a Government Warehouse in
our oil rich Nigeria is a dangerous symptom of an impending revolution that
must be averted or contained,” he wrote on his X handle on Sunday.
Recall that the International Monetary Fund, IMF, had said
that stalled per-capita growth, poverty and high food insecurity have
exacerbated the ongoing cost-of-living crisis in Nigeria.
The report emerged amid rising inflation, exchange rate
crisis, weak economic growth and business shutdowns.
