Residents of Gombe in Gombe State, on Sunday, hijacked and looted a trailer conveying cartons of food items branded ‘Seyi Tinubu.
Seyi is the son of President Bola Tinubu. He has been visiting State capitals in Northern Nigeria since the beginning of the month of Ramadan to share food item for Iftar
The truck was overpowered at one of the popular junctions known as old Bauchi Motor Park, along Gombe-Bauchi Road.
LEADERSHIP learnt that the fully-loaded truck was conveying the branded food items in advance, and they were meant to be distributed by Nigeria’s First Son when he visits the State later.
In a video that went viral on various social media platforms, the looted food items included small bags of rice, pasta, sugar, salt, and bottles of cooking oil.
Seyi Tinubu was earlier scheduled to visit Gombe State last week in continuation of his nationwide tour, but the exercise was later cancelled for an undisclosed reason.
