Hoodlums on Friday took the advantage of the ongoing protest in Yobe State to attack the office of Red Cross Society, razing a Land Cruiser vehicle belonging to the humanitarian organisation.
The incident occurred at the organisation’s office in Potiskum, an inside source who is not permitted to speak with the media on the matter, told PREMIUM TIMES.
The hoodlums also destroyed other items including a water tank within the premises.
“We are worried by the reports of attacks on our offices in Potiskum, Yobe State,” the source said.
“The Nigerian Red Cross Society is an independent neutral and impartial humanitarian organisation of public utility.
“Our mission is to save lives and provide assistance to people in need.”
The source said the Red Cross as a non-partisan body should be respected and protected.
