#EndSARS: Mothers Went With Their Children To Loot SPAR Outlet – Army

Ahmed Taiwo, 81 military intelligence brigade commander, has expressed displeasure at the action and behaviour of some mothers during the unrest and violence that characterised aftermath of the #EndSARS protests.

In his testimony when he appeared before Lagos judicial panel on Saturday, Taiwo said disclosed that some mothers took their children to loot a SPAR outlet in Lagos during the crisis that trailed the #EndSARS protest.

“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 disclosed that the MD of Spar begged him to let them loot the SPAR outlet but not set it 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.

The commander spoke on the role of the army in restoring order.
