#EndSARS: Senator Folarin Discloses Items Looted By Hoodlums From His House

The lawmaker representing Oyo Central Senatorial district, Teslim Folarin, has disclosed the items looted by hoodlums during an attack on his residence on Saturday.

Senator Folarin stated this in a statement released on Saturday.

The lawmaker in his statement noted that over 1,100 empowerment items such as motorcycles, deep freezers, generators, and grinding machines, among others were looted.

Recall that hoodlums on Saturday attacked his house at the Oluyole Estate extension in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

He described the attack on his house as evil, barbaric and unfortunate.

The senator further stated that the looters are not the same youths protesting against police brutality and bad governance but coordinated hoodlums.

He described the incident as pure daylight robbery, adding that the attackers broke down doors to rooms in the house to steal valuable assets.

“The actions of the hoodlums are condemnable, and it is very disheartening that some bad elements in our society are hiding under the guise of #ENDSARS protests to loot and disrupt peaceful atmosphere in Nigeria,” he said.

“I thank God we did not record any fatality, despite the violent invasion of my Oluyole house, looting of materials and vandalisation therein.”

“For the sake of clarification, I have just formally taken receipt of the empowerment materials from a federal agency coordinating constituency projects for federal lawmakers.”

“Also, I used my personal money to procure additional materials. I took stock of the materials ahead of a mega empowerment programme scheduled to hold in November 2020.

“Looted materials included over 350 motorcycles, 400 deep freezers, 350 generators, grinding machines, sewing machines, hairdressing and barbing salon materials, vulcanising machines and many more.”
