In spite of the ongoing 48-hour curfew, hoodlums, on Friday, invaded a popular mall in Sapele, Sapele Local Government Area of Delta State, vandalising and carting away valuable goods. Recall that Governor Ifeanyi Okowa had, on Thursday morning, imposed a 48-hour curfew across the state to halt further destruction of life and property by hoodlums disguising as #ENDSARS protesters. The hoodlums, in their number, unleashed terror on Sapele, looted and vandalized the popular mall, Memories Superstores located along Ajogodo road and carted award goods worth millions of naira. A witness, Akporotu Onome, told newsmen that the hoodlums stormed the mall and forced their way in and thereafter began to loot goods inside the store. The hoodlums, hiding under the guise of #ENDSARS protesters, were said to have continued their protest on Thursday night in spite of the curfew by mounting bonfires across Sapele town.
