Some youths at the weekend justified their breach of curfew time.
After they were stopped by soldiers, the group explained their presence outside their homes.
They were en route to a warehouse housing COVID-19 palliatives.
An officer who led a team of patrol team queried them.
“You people are claiming your food are in somewhere government kept. So what do you people want to go and do? You want to go and scatter there”, he quipped.
In response, the youths answered in the affirmative.
They noted that people in other states have gone to storage facilities to take palliatives.
“Nobody is carrying gun here. We are going to take our things peacefully. Other states have taken their own, there are videos”, they replied in unison.
The footage was reportedly recorded in Delta State.
At least nine states have witnessed raids on warehouses that housed food items.
They include Anambra, Cross River, Edo, Kaduna, Kwara, Lagos, Osun, Plateau and Taraba.
