Meanwhile, residents of Ilorin, the Kwara State capital yesterday, stormed the warehouses where the government stored COVID-19 palliatives expected to be distributed to citizens.
The warehouses, located at the cargo warehouse of the International airport in Ilorin as well as the agro-mall located in the Sango area of the state were totally ransacked as residents struggled to pack as much food items as they could.
Breaking into warehouses and looting the items stored there is recently fast becoming a trend in Nigeria as similar incidents have been recorded in Lagos and Osun States.
Consequently, Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State declared a 24 hour Curfew on the state from midnight today, Saturday.
Governor Abdulrazaq made this known in a statewide broadcast on Midland 99.1 FM.
Abdulrazaq said, “Lives are being threatened. Businesses are being looted. Public properties have been targeted. This is unacceptable. It is not who we are.
