PHOTOS: Massive looting as Abuja Next Cash & Carry supermarket goes up in flames
There is an ongoing looting of goods and gadgets at the burning Next Cash & Carry supermarket, in spite of heavy security presence.
Peoples Gazette earlier reported the fire outbreak at the supermarket on Sunday morning.
A thick smoke from the massive facility billowed into the sky Sunday morning just before the supermarket opened for shoppers.
However, looters have gained entrance into the supermarket, carting away anything their hands can carry. Many of the looters were seen deploying the mall’s trolleys and carriers to loot mattresses, drinks, electronics and many other items.
It is not immediately clear why police officers, Civil Defence operatives and other emergency responders at the scene kept looking while the looters steal unconscionably.
