The hoodlums however, regrouped and tried to force open the warehouse, causing some government officials to order the loading of the foodstuffs in a trailer to a different location.

The first trailer was, however, ambushed at popular Aroma Junction, while being moved to an undisclosed location, while foodstuffs, including bags off rice, noodles and others were looted by the irate youths.

But at moment soldiers have taken over Awka, shooting in the air to scare away the hoodlums.
