The National Emergency Management Agency on Sunday said the warehouse that was looted in Abuja does not belong to it.
The agency said the warehouse belongs to another owner while also expressing sympathy with the owner of the warehouse.
The agency however said the looting of the warehouse has compelled it to take some precautions ahead of anything of such around its facilities across the country.
“The attention of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has been drawn to media reports on Sunday alleging that the Agency’s warehouse was looted by some hoodlums in Abuja.
“This is to clarify that the looted warehouse does not belong to NEMA. However, the Agency sympathizes with owners of the looted facility.
“To forestall any security breach at NEMA facilities, the Director General Mustapha Habib Ahmed has directed Zonal Directors and Heads of Operations to strengthen security in and around the Agency’s offices and warehouses nationwide.”
NPO Reported earlier that some hoodlums had invaded the warehouse located at Karimo Area of Abuja carting away food items.
