Former lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, has berated Katsina
State government officials for allegedly diverting bags of rice meant for the
poor.
Sani, in a post on his X handle on Friday, warned that the
government shouldn’t complain the people are causing trouble when they protest.
He said: “Katsina Government officials, why did you divert
bags of Rice meant for the poor? If the people now protest, you will say they
are causing trouble.”
DAILY POST reported that the operatives of the Department of
the State Services in Katsina State Command, recovered 2,000 bags of rice out
of the 20 trucks donated to the state by the Nigerian Government.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the recovered rice
was allegedly diverted by some government officials.
The rice, Nigerian government said was a gesture to cushion
the effects of the current economic hardships in the country.
