Hoodlums on Thursday broke into a warehouse where COVID-19 palliatives were stored at Mazamaza community in Oriade Local Council Development Area, Lagos State.

After they gained entrance as early as 8:00 am, they looted some COVID-19 palliatives, a resident in the area said.

The warehouse is located on Benster Crescent, popularly called Monkey Village.

It was gathered that the hoodlums also set a bonfire at a junction not far from the place.

Also, the hoodlums later asked residents in the area to move into the warehouse and pick some palliatives.

One of the residents, Sherif Olaiya, said, “We heard sounds of gunshots. The hoodlums have attacked a place where COVID-19 palliatives were stored. They are asking residents to come and be picking the palliatives.”

When asked how he knew that the items are COVID-19 palliatives, he said, “They are branded.”
