The Adamawa State Police Command says 25 youths suspected of being involved in the looting that occurred earlier in the day in Yola, the state capital have been apprehended.
The hoodlums broke into government warehouses and some private stores early Sunday morning and stole food and non-food items stored there.
In a statement, Police Public Relations Officer SP Suleiman Nguroje stated that the 25 suspects were apprehended and the items they stole were recovered from them.
Assuring that the looting was under control, Nguroje stated that the focus had shifted to enforcing Governor Ahmadu Fintiri’s statewide curfew.
Fintiri had issued the curfew in the early afternoon, not only in Yola, where the looting occurred, but throughout the state, stating that it was necessary to increase the effectiveness of efforts to stamp out hoodlum activity.
