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.”
Arogidigba Global Journal 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.
