Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed said hoodlums that besieged the warehouse storing COVID-19 palliatives in the state left disappointed.
He stated this in a tweet on Sunday.
The governor revealed how he directed his Chief of Staff, Ladan Salihu to open the doors of the warehouse so that the hoodlums could see that it was empty.
This, he said, was to prevent them from breaking the doors.
Mohammed disclosed that the COVID-19 palliatives had been distributed between May and August and there was nothing for the hoodlums to loot.

“Today, hoodlums attempted a raid on the COVID-19 palliatives warehouse in Bauchi State. My Chief of Staff was informed and he ordered the warehouse to be opened.
“They saw it was empty, and they turned back. And that’s because we shared everything to beneficiaries as and when due.
“For accountability, when we started distribution months ago, I ensured to set up a high powered committee that included myself.
“The core of my mandate remains the crucial drive to give Bauchi State citizens a better prospect and more excellent opportunity for a prosperous life. We are doing this, and we will continue to do more,” Mohammed said.
Recall that hoodlums looted COVID-19 palliatives in Lagos, Osun, Edo, Plateau, Cross River, among others.
