On Monday night, angry youths in Gandun Albasa Quarters, Kano State, attacked Wada Sagagi Islamic School, looting food items.
According to Hikima Radio, residents reported that the youths entered the school, which is situated in the former residence of Alhaji Shehu Wada Sagagi, the Chief of Staff to the Kano State Government.
The stolen rice was reportedly part of the 20 trucks of rice distributed to each of the 36 states by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to alleviate the country’s food crisis.
Attempts to reach Shehu Wada Sagagi for comments on the incident were unsuccessful.
However, the head of the Islamic school confirmed that the youths had indeed broken into the school and taken the bags of rice.
