A crowd of people on Friday broke into the warehouse where palliatives donated by the Coalition Against COVID-19 (CACOVID) were stored at the Cargo Shed Terminal of the Ilorin International Airport in Kwara State.
The residents forced the gates open when they invaded the storage facility in the afternoon while the security officials manning the place watched helplessly.
They succeeded in emptying the food items at the warehouse but began to run to safety following the arrival of more security personnel deployed at the scene.
In its reaction, the state government described the action of the residents as unfortunate and condemnable.

The Commissioner for Communications in Kwara, Harriet Afolabi-Oshatimehin, explained in a statement that the palliatives were meant for the poor.
She insisted that the action of the residents does not reflect the good nature of the people of the state.
