The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has raised an alarm over the safety of ita warehouses in Kaduna and called on the Department of State Services (DSS), Police and the Nigerian Army to secure them.
The Zonal Coordinator of NEMA Office in Kaduna, Abbani Imam, who disclosed this, attributed it to the situation in Adamawa State.
There are media reports of how hoodlums broke into a NEMA warehouse in Adamawa and looted palliatives meant to cushion effect of fuel subsidy removal.
Imam stated that they got a directive to contact security agencies, especially the Disaster Risks Units (DRUs), which involves all security agencies to collaborate with NEMA.
“We have contacted the Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) where our warehouses are located to be on alert. We also informed all SSS officers and are closely monitoring the situation.”
Imam emphasized that they were monitoring the situation locally and will immediately inform relevant stakeholders if there is any news to share.
Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa had imposed a 24-hour curfew to check the situation.
