Aminu said many residents of the area as well as persons from neighbouring Jiwa and Karmo towns trooped towards the warehouse to partake in the looting of the food items.
He added that the looting caused a gridlock on Gwagwa-Karmo Road which leads to the Dei-Dei and Jabi areas of Abuja.
It would be recalled that the warehouse was looted during the COVID-19 lockdown across the country in 2020. Grain bags as well as pumping machines meant for intervention were stolen from the facility by the looters.
Meanwhile, the FCT Police Command has yet to speak on the latest looting of the warehouse as of press time.
