Taraba residents on Saturday evening overran the Taraba state COVID-19 palliative warehouse along Federal Government Girls College FGGC, road, opposite the secretariat of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, in Jalingo Taraba state capital.
BusinessDay correspondent who was on the ground reports that the hoodlums were seen in their numbers carting away bags of rice, noodles, salt bags of maize, and gallons of vegetable oil.
They had earlier blocked the FGGC road and the popular Road safety junction in Jalingo, restricting vehicular movement.
As at the time of this report, men of the Nigerian Police Force, who just arrived at the scene, seemed not to be harsh.
Our correspondent gathered that the crowd was so large that even the police presence could not scare them as more and more people were seen trooping to the warehouse despite police presence.
our correspondent also reports that some of the people seen carting away items from the warehouse were heard saying “so the Taraba state government wanted to eat our palliatives”.
