Amidst criticism for failing to distribute palliatives, Nigerian state governors under the aegis of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum said the recent cache of palliatives discovered by citizens in warehouses across the country was kept in anticipation of a second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.
Citizens in many states across Nigeria has since engaged in looting food items from warehouses even after the #EndSars protests had ended.
Governors of Plateau, Cross River states and the minister of FCT had threatened looters to return all stolen food items or risk arrest and prosecution.
Over 250 persons has been arrested in connection with looting of warehouses.
