Police arrest 15 suspects over warehouse looting in Abuja

This has led to protests in different parts of the country,
that culminated in rallies by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) last week.

In a statement on Sunday, Josephine Adeh, FCT police
spokesperson, said some suspects have been arrested in relation to the looting.

She said two security guards employed by the warehouse
management were among the suspects arrested.

Adeh said 26 bags of maize, five motorcycles and some
vandalised aluminum roofing sheets, were recovered from the suspects.

“The Police Command in the FCT is fully informed about the
impulsive attack on Agric Department Strategic food store located at Tasha area
of Abuja, on March 3,” the statement reads.

“The attack has resulted to the vandalism and looting of the
warehouse.

“The command wishes to state that normalcy has since been
restored to the area and the situation under control.”
