“The Storming of the Palliative Warehouse in Adamawa by the masses is a sign of the level of desperation, hunger and poverty in the land.
“The earlier the hardships and suffering is alleviated and checkmated the better, before it spreads to the other parts of the country.”
Another stakeholder was of the view:
