The looting of a government warehouse in Abuja on Sunday is a direct reflection of the mass hunger and suffering in the country, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa says.
According to the lawyer, the looting was used in passing a message to President Bola Tinubu on the weak economic policies of his administration.
The lawyer revealed all these at the Channels Television’s breakfast show, The Morning Brief, on Monday.
The human rights lawyer insists that there is a dire need for the reviewing of present economic policies by the Tinubu administration to ensure the survival of Nigerians.
He said, “Across all states in Nigeria presently there is a crisis of survival from the part of the people. So, it is not just this particular occurrence, a truck bearing foodstuff was randomly attacked and looted. I do not support this in any way at all because we must have an environment where we can secure lives and property.
“But it is a reflection of the fact that the economic policies of the present administration are not helping the people of the country and of course, these occurrences showcase the frustration that people are going through.”
“You know what they say that we pray that we don’t get to a position where the poor will rise up to be eating the rich. I think there is a message to the president and members of his economic team that there is a need to rejig the system in such a way that will allow for the survival of the majority of our people.”
