A warehouse located along Isaac Boro Expressway in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, was reportedly raided by residents Sunday 27th August, 2023.
Information gathered by Igbere TV has it that the angry Residents looted palliatives which were supposed to be distributed to cushion the effects of the fuel subsidy removal.
People were angered due to the hardship in the country occasioned by the removal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit, otherwise known as petrol.
It is, however, unclear if the warehouse looted housed food items distributed to states as promised by President Bola Tinubu‘s administration to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal.
Reports speculate that the palliatives looted were meant to be distributed to people affected by flood in the state.
Meanwhile, as at the time of filling this report, the state government has yet to comment on the incident.
