Not more than 6 persons were said to have lot their lives and many sustained injuries in the stampede at the Taraba State Government warehouse today.

 

H-Forbes gathered that the incident happened when some hoodlums were reported to have broken into the warehouse and carted away lots of COVID-19 palliatives.

 

Eyewitnesses told H-Forbes on Sunday that about six corpses were moved to the mortuary in the early hours of today  Sunday.

 

“We took about six bodies to the federal medical centre morgue between yesterday (Saturday) and the early hours of today.

 

“There is hunger in the land and thousands of people moved in to get the food palliatives and unfortunately some died in the process.

 

“This is what the government wants by refusing to share the items.”

 

 As of the time of filing this report, efforts made to reach out to officials of the Taraba Police Command was abortive.

 

Meanwhile, the Government of Taraba State has imposed a curfew on Jalingo following the invasion of government warehouses with palliatives and other stores in the state.

 

Engr. Haruna Manu who is the State Deputy Governor has announced this in a statewide broadcast in Jalingo.

 

Manu announced the curfew would run from 11 pm on Saturday to 8 am on Monday when the government would further review the situation of Jalingo.

 

“Following certain bad happenings in the state and around the country, government has decided to impose a curfew on Jalingo, to forestall further breakdown of law and order.

 

“The curfew will run from 11:00pm on Saturday to 8:am on Monday as the government will thereafter review the situation.

 

“At about 5pm of Saturday, October 24, 2020, vandals forced their way into government warehouses and looted essential commodities meant for distribution as palliatives in the state.

 

“Similarly, troublemakers are continuing to lay siege on the streets of the state capital which informed government’s decision to impose the 24-hour curfew to stop the situation from degenerating into mayhem,” he said.

 

While directing the security operatives to ensure compliance within the ambit of the law, Manu appealed to the youths to change their disposition to help in calming the situation.

 

But despite the curfew, hoodlums resumed their looting spree on Sunday as the COVID-19 isolation centre at the NYSC Orientation Camp, fertilizer stores, and Essential Drugs among other government and private offices were looted.
