The Ekiti State Government has warned that all the items looted from government facilities are not fit for consumption and should not be mistaken for COVID-19 palliatives.
—
Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation, Mr Akin Omole, gave the warning on Saturday, October 24.
—
According to him, raising the alarm became expedient to forestall any harm that could befall anyone who consumed the items.
—
“Information at our disposal revealed that the Federal Government’s silos, the ADP warehouse and the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) stores, all in Ado- Ekiti, were attacked by hoodlums under the guise of seeking Covid-19 palliatives.
—
We insist that Ekiti state currently has no Covid-19 palliative warehouse as all the palliatives had been distributed.
—
Unfortunately, the items carted away were Single Super Phosphate and NPK fertilisers, which they erroneously thought was “Gaari’’, cassava grains.
—
The SEMA store too has only emergency supplies for disaster response.
Some people even made away with pre-fermented corns preserved for planting. All these items are poisonous and not fit for consumption.
—
We, therefore, appeal to our people not to consume these items because they can kill,” Omole warned.
