 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.

The report emerged amid rising inflation, exchange rate crisis, weak economic growth and business shutdowns.
