Published

on

During the current economic crisis, some Ondo people looted a truck transporting food.

It was said that the truck driver was overwhelmed after his vehicle experienced a mechanical malfunction at the prominent cultural center intersection on the Ondo expressway.

However, traces of the food items were discovered on the roadway when our reporter reached the location.

The fully loaded truck was said to be conveying food items, particularly grains in some cartoons branded in President Bola Tinubu’s name.

Several witnesses who confirmed the development revealed that those who attacked the truck and also looted its contents included petty traders, artisans, drivers and commercial motorcyclists.

“How they got to know the content still surprised me. The truck developed a mechanical fault and before we knew it the residents forced it open.
