A mob attempted to break into the custom's base but were repelled by soldiers.

Reacting to the episodes of violence and looting in the city, the Kwara State government has condemned the attacks.

“Attack by some hoodlums on the cargo terminal in Ilorin to prey on palliatives meant for the poor is condemnable, inexplicable, and does not reflect the good nature of the people of the state,” the state commissioner of information, Harriet Afolabi-Oshatimehin, said on Friday evening., the coalition of organisations in the private sector established to help the state government combat the coronavirus, had since September 23 flagged off the distribution of the palliatives.

“But it was meant for specific households, as dictated by CACOVID, and so names had to be properly generated to allow for transparent and orderly distribution.”She noted the state government had since distributed the majority of the palliatives to the identified vulnerable households in 15 of the 16 local government areas of the state.

In a similar vein, the spokesperson of the Kwara State governor, Rafiu Ajakaye, said there was another incident at Agro Mall, which involved the recent food palliatives donated by the federal government.The food items looted was meant for Edu, Patigi, Moro and Ifelodun local government areas. “There were also attacks on Customs and some private firms. It is a case of pure hooliganism and pure greed, which have no place in human civilization,” he told PREMIUM TIMES.
