A group of youths in Gombe State have reportedly looted Ramadan palliatives meant for distribution by Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The palliatives were reportedly part of his initiative to support the less privileged during the fasting period.
According to reports, Seyi Tinubu has been visiting northern states, where he participates in Iftar with residents and political leaders.
As part of his visit, he also launches Ramadan feeding programs aimed at providing food and essential items to the needy.
However, chaos erupted in Gombe when the palliative distribution reportedly got out of control, leading to looting by a group of youths.
The exact details of how the looting occurred remain unclear, but eyewitnesses claimed that some individuals forcefully took away food items and supplies meant for distribution.
The looting incident has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with netizens expressing mixed opinions.
"This is unfortunate. People should learn to be patient. These palliatives were meant to help everyone, but greed has taken over," one social media user commented.
Another wrote, "If the distribution was properly coordinated, this wouldn't have happened. Who is really in charge of organizing these events?"
As of now, neither Seyi Tinubu nor officials in Gombe State have issued an official statement regarding the looting.
