Covid19 palliatives given by voluntary donors, NGOs and foreign governments were discovered at the most unexpected places Lagos.
A particular massive warehouse in the Maza Maza area of Lagos was loaded to the roof with food items marked Covid19.
Unconfirmed reports say that an Oba had his warehouse equally loaded with the palliatives.
The food items were meant to be distributed during the covid19 lockdown. It is uncertain why they were still stock-piled at the locations.
Equally not confirmed is wether the warehouses were authorised by the relevant authorities.
Notwithstanding, obviously hungry hoodlums made away with generous amounts of the items.
Men, Women and and children were not left out.
Some of the food items were clearly marked “Not for Sale.”
Emptying the warehouse at the monarch’s palace was coordinated by young men who undertook to get the items out and throw them to obviously hungry waiting hands.
Policemen appeared to have joined the fray at Maza Maza as they also loaded their clearly marked trucks with good servings of the palliatives.
Nigerians have reacted to the ugly development:
Bruce Bateman Esq@demigodgeous·Not surprised they stored Covid19palliatives permanently in a warehouse. It’s the Nigerian way. You’ll donate computers to a government school, they’ll unwrap it for photo ops. Then they’ll wrap it back & store it in some part of the school to rot. No one will end up using it.
Nimrod@GhenhisKhan·People were crowdfunding to feed people and someone in govt was busy storing #COVID19palliativesin his private warehouse . Oba Akiolu was busy storing over 5000 bags of rice fron #COVID19palliativesin his palace . #EndSARS
#EndSarsNigeria@beezintheb·All my life, I thought the Nigerian government was incompetent but now I realize that they are evil. How can a single person steal ALL the COVID19palliatives and store it in his warehouse? Where is the humanity?
