Two Fainted And One Injured Among Thousands Who Sought Rice At The Customs Offic by Glimpsetv: 12:21pm On Feb 24
Customs authorities had earlier announced that Lagos residents could purchase a 25kg bag of rice for ₦10,00 using their National Identification Number (NIN) for identification at any operational site.

According to participants interviewed, sales started early and proceeded orderly with customs officers, Nigerian Army personnel, and Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps (LNSC) officers ensuring security.

However, as the day progressed, the crowd swelled, creating tension with security forces struggling to maintain order.

A lengthy queue formed from the Customs office entrance gate, with people eager to buy rice.

Sales halted around midday due to an uncontrollable crowd, but determined residents braved the scorching sun.

Chaos erupted when two women collapsed separately, one foaming at the mouth. They were revived, but another woman suffered a severe mouth injury.

The crowd, angered by the events, surged toward the customs office entrance.

Sensing trouble, customs officers began distributing rice for free, causing more chaos as people climbed fences and jostled each other.

However, there is whispering today that some people actually lost their lives due to the stampede resulting from the pandemonium yesterday. But what is more worrisome to some Nigerians is the fact that the mainstream media is silent about the incident.

This level of hardship is unprecedented because of a clueless government with constant policy summersault.

They remove subsidy today, but sneak it through the backdoor tomorrow. They float the naira today then peg dollar afterwards.

This current government is simply guessing at this point, groping in the dark for answers beyond their sense of reasoning.

The only records Tinubu is breaking is records in failure.

Lol. Nope, I'm in active service preparing for whatever fall out that will come from the total collapse of the evil contraption. This certainly isn't the time for bikini bottom styled relaxation.
There's literally fire on the mountain.
