A BUA truck transporting cartons of spaghetti fell victim to an attack by hoodlums at the Dogarawa axis of the Zaria-Kano expressway. Dogarawa is a settlement located on the outskirts of Zaria along the expressway.
This incident occurred barely a week after hoodlums hijacked trailers loaded with foodstuffs in the Suleja area of Niger State, stealing bags of rice and other essential items amidst the prevailing hardship in the country.
Reports indicate that the trailers, which were en route from Kaduna to Abuja, were intercepted by the thugs who blocked the road and created barricades with burnfires on the highway.
According to an eyewitness, the Friday incident took place around 3:15 pm after the truck driver parked by the roadside to observe prayers. As soon as the driver stopped, the hoodlums swiftly moved in and began looting cartons of spaghetti from the truck.
