Ten women were among 110 persons charged to court by the Nigerian police, for looting government-owned warehouses and privately owned shops on Sunday in Adamawa State.

Inside Port Harcourt had reported on Sunday that In what appeared as a repeat of the fallout of the #EndSARS protest of 2020, youths in Adamawa are currently looting government-owned grain reserves and other shops.

The youths reportedly started the looting spree at the grain warehouse located at PZ Roundabout, a stone’s throw away from the Yola International Airport.

The Adamawa State Police Command on Monday arraigned the suspects before a court for allegedly looting both government and private warehouses in the state.
