The FCT Minister of State, Dr Mariya Mahmoud, says the FCT Administration will establish a police post in all its warehouses to prevent miscreants from invading and looting their contents.

Mahmoud stated this in Abuja on Monday, after an assessment visit to the warehouse located at Gwagwa-Tasha, which was looted by residents on Sunday, to ascertain the level of damage.

The minister described the looting as a very unfortunate incident, stressing that the hoodlums carted away all the grains and other food stuff in the warehouse, including the roofing sheets.

The action, according to her, is beyond hunger; it is criminal. “We are here due to the unfortunate incident that happened early hours of yesterday (Sunday), where hoodlums attacked this very warehouse and packed everything that is here.

“Not only food items, including the roofing, windows, and even the gates of this place were carted away.

“You can see the level of damage. There is nothing that is left here, including machineries that are used for the processing of some of the food in the warehouse.”
