 Looting of NEMA warehouse, symptom of impending revolution ā€“ 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.


According to Sani, the development is a dangerous symptom of an impending revolution.


Some residents of the FCT had looted a warehouse belonging to the NEMA amid the current economic hardship across the country.


It was gathered that the residents carted away foodstuffs and other items.


ā€œMasses looting foodstuffs from a Government Warehouse in our oil rich Nigeria is a dangerous symptom of an impending revolution that must be averted or contained,ā€ he wrote on his X handle on Sunday.


Recall that the International Monetary Fund, IMF, had said that stalled per-capita growth, poverty and high food insecurity have exacerbated the ongoing cost-of-living crisis in Nigeria.


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