“The pressure of the people pulled down a section of their fence. Come and see the beating. They even beat one woman in a wheelchair. If you record and they catch you, they will seize your phone,” the resident said.



SaharaReporters on Tuesday reported that the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) disclosed that its operatives will distribute all confiscated food products nationwide.



The Nigerian Customs Service spokesperson, CSC Abdullahi Maiwada, who made this known in a press statement said that the decision was taken to alleviate the current hardships faced by Nigerians and to solve serious problems of food security and the skyrocketing prices of basic food items in the country.



The NCS underlined that the distribution would take place once food items underwent certification to ensure its suitability for human consumption.

Nigerians will never follow orderliness for things to work. Most people will try to be smart just to get more bags than others. And by so doing, causing trouble and fighting.

At the end, this will be attributed to the president.
