The Commissioner of Agriculture for Kebbi State, Alhaji Shehu Muazu, addressed the recent looting incident in Kebbi during a press conference in Birnin Kebbi. He clarified that the looted food items belonged to the Dangote Foundation and not the state government. Muazu accused the foundation of diverting truckloads of 5kg rice without notifying security agencies, fueling suspicion among the public. The state government condemned the looting, labeling the perpetrators as miscreants and warning of severe repercussions. To investigate the cause, a 13-member committee has been established, with a five-day deadline for their report. This decision followed an extraordinary security meeting aimed at strategizing to prevent future occurrences.
