Ahmed Taiwo, 81 military intelligence brigade commander, has revealed that some mothers took their children to loot a SPAR outlet in Lagos during the hijack of the #EndSARS protest in parts of the country.
“They (hoodlums) burnt places like Shoprite and SPAR in Lekki,” he said.
“I was on ground for this, and what hurt me the most was that, women and men, children, mothers were even taking their children to loot.”
The army general further revealed that the MD of Spar begged him to let the outlet to be looted instead of being set on fire.
Some suspected hoodlums took advantage of the #EndSARS protests to vandalise and loot public and private properties in Lagos.
Ahmed also said the army was able to recover some of the looted goods and returned them to their owners after they provided proof of ownership.
SPAR had tweeted about the incident on its official Twitter page barely 24 hours after the Lekki Shooting.
