The Plateau State Government has given looters 48 hours to
return stolen COVID-19 palliatives in their possession or risk being arrested.
NigerianEye had earlier reported that a warehouse where
COVID-19 palliatives were stored in the Bukuru community of Jos South Local
Government Area of the state was looted on Saturday.
In a reaction on Monday, the State Police Command described
the act as criminal, nothing that the looters should return the stolen
palliatives before Wednesday.
Acting Spokesman of the State Police Command, Donbey Peters,
made this known in a statement on Monday.
The statement partly read, “Sequel to the ugly occurrences
that bedevilled some parts of the state particularly Jos North and Jos South
LGAs, the Commissioner of Police Plateau State Command, CP Edward Egbuka, has
condemned in totality the breaking and looting into government warehouses,
shops and private houses of individuals by hoodlums and other criminals within
Jos and Bukuru metropolis under the guise of #EndSARS protests.
“He described it as an act of criminality aimed at
truncating the tireless efforts of the police and other security agencies on
the Plateau. This has led to the arrest of over a hundred persons.
“He stated that the Government of Plateau State is giving these
looters the grace to return immediately, every looted item to the nearest local
government office not later than Wednesday 28/10/2020. Anyone found in
possession of any looted item after this date will be arrested and brought to
book.”
The statement reminded the public that the 24-hour curfew
imposed by the government is still in place and cautioned the public against
disobedience.
