The National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, has reacted to reports that its warehouse in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, was looted by residents on Sunday.
It was earlier reported that residents of the Federal Capital Territory on Sunday looted a warehouse reportedly belonging to the National Emergency Management Agency NEMA carting away bags of rice, beans, and other foodstuff due to the current economic hardship across the country.
However, a statement by the NEMA Press Unit, which was posted on X, said the looted warehouse does not belong to the agency.
The statement said: “The attention of the National Emergency Management Agency has been drawn to media reports on Sunday alleging that the Agency’s warehouse was looted by some hoodlums in Abuja.
“This is to clarify that the looted warehouse does not belong to NEMA. However, the Agency sympathizes with the owners of the looted facility.
“To forestall any security breach at NEMA facilities, the Director General Mustapha Habib Ahmed has directed Zonal Directors and Heads of Operations to strengthen security in and around the Agency’s offices and warehouses nationwide.”
