LOOTERS ARE NOT HUNGRY, THEY ARE GREEDY - PRESIDENTIAL SPOKESMAN, FEMI ADESINA
Presidential Spokesman, Femi Adesina, has said the looting of warehouses and shops by hoodlums is not caused by poverty but greed.
In the last one week, there has been series of violence and looting across the country, following the #EndSARS protest.
He made this known on Thursday, October 29, in an interview on Channels Television breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily.
Adesina, who said the looting spree which occurred days after the #EndSARS protest was propelled by greed and criminality, disagreed with the pandemonium is a reflection of hunger.
“I wouldn’t agree completely with that (that the looters are hungry) because criminality is criminality, would you justify armed robbery because the man was poor?
“Just as you can’t justify armed robbery because a man was poor and then he took a gun to rob another person. You can’t also justify the lootings that are going on. It is pure criminality.
“It is not everybody engaged in that looting that is hungry, that is the truth. It is pure greed and criminality,” Adesina said.
