The warehouse located in a suburb along Numan-Yola road called Kwananwaya in the state capital where bags of rice and other food items were looted away by the rampaging youth.
A source revealed that a viral video on social media of a woman calling for the youth to come down to the warehouse and help themselves might have been the trigger of the incident.
Although, a staff of the warehouse who spoke on condition of anonymity said the youth were faced with stiff resistance by the security guarding the warehouse.
Meanwhile, In a trending video that supports this version of the story, security operatives are seen standing between the warehouse and the youths and warning the youths to keep off.
