*Police deploy helicopter
Hoodlums on Sunday looted warehouses belonging to the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) in Jabi Daki Biu as well as private warehouses in the Idu Industrial Layout, Abuja, stocked with food items.
During the raid, the mob made away with several bags of food items, notably rice, cartons of milk, gallons of vegetable oil, canned foods, cartons of noodles, cereals and other items.
Policemen at the scene were overpowered by the mob of looters.
Many of the looters brought tricycles and motorcycles to load their loot.
The Idu area has many factories which have warehouses for storage.
Meanwhile, the police authorities have deployed a helicopter following the looting of warehouses at Idu Industrial Estate, Jabi, Abuja, by suspected hoodlums.
A chopper was seen flying over the location and the surrounding areas while additional policemen were deployed to ward off the invaders who were undeterred by the volleys of tear gas canisters released by security forces.
