In Yola, a troubling incident occurred on Friday night when a group of individuals, who were concealing their true intentions behind the pretense of protesting against bad governance, took over a trailer laden with fertilizer intended for the Demsa local government area of the state. This situation escalated quickly as eyewitnesses recounted the events to Vanguard, revealing that the trailer had been parked in close proximity to the palace of the Paramount Ruler of the region when the looting unfolded.
According to reports from onlookers, the trailer had been stationary for several hours while waiting for instructions from the council chairman regarding where to deliver the fertilizer consignment. During this waiting period, the trailer was completely covered, leading to increasing curiosity and speculation among the local populace. Frustrated by the prolonged wait and unaware of the true contents of the vehicle, individuals began to mutter among themselves, trying to guess what might be inside.
Before long, a ripple effect took place, as people called out to one another and shared their suspicions, culminating in the swift accumulation of a large crowd in the area. The atmosphere transformed, and looting soon commenced in an unchecked frenzy. As the theft continued, more individuals from both nearby and distant locations became aware of the chaotic scene. In no time at all, the entire load of fertilize was stripped from the trailer, leaving it empty.
It is important to note that this trailer load of fertilizer was initially dispatched to the Demsa local government area by the administration of Governor Fintiri, with the intention of enhancing agricultural yields and alleviating the economic hardships faced by the local farmers and community. The events of that night, however, served to undermine those very objectives.
