A curfew has been imposed on Adamawa State in Northeastern Nigeria where hundreds of residents engaged in massive looting of shops and public warehouses where food has been stored.
Teenagers living on the street started the looting but were soon joined by hundreds of residents who entered these places where food, especially cereals, have been stored to take them away.
“Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has issued a 24-hour curfew…with immediate effect ,” his spokesman, Humwashi Wonosikou, said on Sunday.
Security personnel have also been deployed to enforce the curfew and prevent future looting.
