Minister says looting of FCT warehouse is criminal act

Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Mariya Mahmoud, has described the looting of a warehouse in the Gwagwa-Tasha area of Abuja on Sunday as a criminal act.
She made the declaration on Monday at the end of an assessment visit to Gwagwa-Tasha to ascertain the level of damage to the warehouse.
Mahmoud, who stressed that the looting was beyond hunger, vowed that residents involved in the incident would be prosecuted.
The minister, who expressed disappointment over the attitude of the youths within the area, however, assured that the FCT Administration would establish a police post in all government warehouses across the territory going forward.
