Peter Obi continues to be taught harsh lessons in Adamawa.
At least four persons were reportedly killed during the youth rampage and looting of government warehouses in Adamawa State on Sunday.

SaharaReporters learnt that at about 8 am on Sunday, youths in their thousands attacked the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) warehouse at PZ Roundabout, adjacent to the Yola International Airport and carted away grains among other items.

SaharaReporters reported that over 200 tricycle vehicles loaded with grains and other items left the NEMA warehouse alone, on Sunday morning.

As further gathered, armed hoodlums took advantage of the situation to dispose residents of personal belongings, including cell phones.

At least, four of the alleged looters were reportedly shot dead by security operatives during the rampage.

"Here in this car is my own share of the loot, but it actually came at a cost, because four of us (looters) were shot dead. But I blame the youths because they attempted to engage the security guys; possibly to snatch rifles," a looter told Saharareporters.

This was corroborated by a military officer who spoke on condition of anonymity because he lacked the authority to speak on the matter.


He said, "We had to fire gunshots because the hoodlums were advancing to attack us. Yes, I think about three or four may have been neutralised in the process."

However, the police could not immediately confirm the fatalities.

The spokesperson for Adamawa State police command, SP Suleiman Nguroje, said, "I won't be able to confirm any casualty as of now because I'm awaiting an assessment report. But I can confirm to you that 47 persons arrested in connection with the crime are in our custody."

The general feeling is that the current hardship occasioned by the removal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) popularly known as petrol may have triggered the looting spree.

In the state, prices of foodstuffs have risen astronomically, with a bag of rice which was sold for N27,000 in May, now being for N46,500.

As things stand, the streets are empty, just as businesses and shops have closed in compliance with the 24-hour curfew imposed on the state by Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri.

In the meantime, armed security personnel comprising soldiers, police officers and operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps are patrolling the streets to enforce the curfew.

This is wrong on all levels
People's businesses are being damaged
People's life time sweats are being brought down
Why?
Are the owners of those things they are stealing government?
Funny enough, hold elections there now and see them vote the very worst candidates.

Tinubu should watch it. This could snowball into an uprising that could be too much to handle. Instead of going to Niger to start a war you can't finish,it is better he concentrate on building national cohesion.

OP why do you guys like sensational headlines? How can 4 be killed and another 47 killed again?
You guys are just too funny. There are better ways of attracting the audience. It's only in this part of the world that people's life doesn't matter. They are just represented as numbers.

Oh they are even buying a bag of rice at 27k when we have already been buying same for 45k since three years now..no matter how the turn this useless country around we in the east will continue to survive and remain better.
The worst is the people that always experience the worst poverty always vote in bad leaders in the name of religion while we that are leaving better than them will keep telling them to desist but hey end up calling us sentimental voters some will even say we in the east play bad politics..I hope they are enjoying their good politics now.

You yorubas are the worst thief's..keep hating on igbos while poverty continues to kill all of you.

You want to teach we igbos lesson, at least we have seen the lessons in the spate of begging going on in Ibadan, the poverty induced wailing over the radio in ondo, the hunger protest in the north, the children malnutrition in Kano and now, the hunger riots in Adamawa..Sure, it's a lesson well learnt, you can continue the lesson while it last, keep hating a blessed people while God in heaven continues to visit all you Igbo hating an unimaginable poverty.
