 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.

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.

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.
