This is a clear misinterpretation and misinformation. Were those palliatives being looted or recovered? The palliatives belong to the people and they've come for their stuff yet you make them look like criminals. Enough of your misleading interpretation please. EndSARS

And you don't think they are just helping the government distribute? Instead of getting them into organized lines.
