Scores of residents in Lagos State have broken into a warehouse in Monkey Village, Maza Maza area of Amuwo Odofin and carted away food items that were marked to be distributed as Covid-19 palliatives.

A resident of the area who refused to be named said; “some people came to the warehouse this morning to carry some items, they always come there to carry all the time.

“People were begging them and they refused, so when they left, the hoodlums broke into the warehouse. The government stocked food there while people are suffering”, she said.

It was gathered that the hoodlums later asked residents to enter into the warehouse and pick some foodstuffs for themselves.

Recall that the government had been under criticism concerning the palliatives that was distributed, with many people denying ever receiving anything and those who received, decrying what they did receive as too little compared to the money the government claimed to have spent on palliatives.
