There was pandemonium on Thursday as soldiers opened fire when suspected hoodlums hijacked trailers loaded with food in the Suleja Area of Niger State.
A witness, Alhassan Abdullahi, told a journalist that the hoodlums who burned tires on the road, blocked
many trailers coming from Abuja and heading for Kaduna.
He said many bags of assorted foodstuffs, especially rice, were stolen before soldiers arrived at the scene.
“It took the intervention of soldiers who arrived at the scene and started firing gunshots in the air to scare the hoodlums away. But even with that, many of them went away with bags of rice, cartons of spaghetti, and other food items.”
“We learnt commercial motorcycle riders are also planning a protest. They would have done it since yesterday, but we didn’t know what stopped them,” he said.
