Some residents of Kebbi State attacked a government warehouse at Bayan Kara area of Birnin Kebbi, the state capital, on Saturday night and carted away food items.
The hoodlums, who defied security operatives stationed at the warehouse, also broke into some private warehouses and shops in the area and stole food items.
They also looted a broken-down truck loaded with assorted grains meant for distribution in Birnin Kebbi.
Attacks on warehouses had occurred at the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and Suleja in Niger State.
