The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has denied reports alleging that its warehouse was looted by some hoodlums in Abuja.
NEMA made the clarification in a statement on Sunday, March 1, 2024.
While acknowledging that a warehouse was looted in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, the agency clarified that the Warehouse does not belong to NEMA, therefore, sympathises with the owners of the looted facility.
NEMA, however, disclosed that to forestall any security breach at its 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.
The statement read in part:
