COVID-19: Protest Trail Lagos Emergency Food Response (Video)

Matilda Omonaiye/

Beneficiaries of Lagos State Emergency Food Response have condemned what some officials are sharing as relief packages to households to cushion the effect of the stay at home order over COVID-19.

One of the beneficiaries in a viral video bitterly complained about a small portion of raw rice in small cellophane bag being given to households.

The man who claimed to have two wives and 10 children wondered how his family would survive two weeks stay at home order on such meagre food ration.
