In what appears as a repeat of the
fallout of the #EndSARS protest of
2020, youths in Adamawa are
currently looting government-
owned grain reserves and other
shops.

The youths reportedly started the
looting spree at the grain warehouse
located at PZ Roundabout, a stone's
throw away from the Yola
International Airport.

SaharaReporters learnt that virtually
all the grain reserves on Numan
Road and other strategic locations
are being looted.
Some of them have also started
looting private stores.

SaharaReporters can report that
armed policemen are currently
engaging the youths as they attempt
to crack down on the rampage.
There are also reported cases of live
bullets being fired as the looting is
said to have turned violent.

One of the looters who spoke to our
correspondent blamed the action on
the hardship being experienced in
the country following the removal of
subsidy on premium motor spirit
otherwise known as petrol.

To manage the situation, Governor
Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has declared
a 24-hour curfew.

A statement from the Chief Press
Secretary to the governor, Himwashi
Wonosikou said, "The Governor of
Adamawa State, the Rt Hon Ahmadu
Umaru Fintiri has declared a 24-hour
curfew on the state, effective
immediately Sunday, 30th July, 2023.


"Governor Fintiri said the curfew
followed the dangerous dimension
the activities of hoodlums had
assumed across the state capital as
they attack people with machetes and
break into business premises and
homes, carting away property.
"With the curfew imposed, there will
be no movement throughout the
state.


"Rt. Hon. Fintiri said only those on
essential duties with valid
identification would be permitted to
move around during the period of
the curfew.


"The Governor is appealing to
citizens and residents of the state to
comply with the directive, adding
that any person found contravening
the order would be arrested and
made to face the wrath of the law."
