Hoodlums targeted a BUA truck transporting cartons of spaghetti along the Dogarawa axis of the Zaria-Kano expressway, resulting in a brazen attack.
The incident unfolded around 3:15 pm when the truck driver stopped by the roadside for prayers.
Exploiting this pause, the hoodlums swiftly pounced on the vehicle, looting every carton of spaghetti it carried.
An eyewitness, familiar with the area’s commerce for over a decade, lamented the unfortunate event.
The attackers left no spaghetti carton untouched, leaving the truck devoid of its cargo.
This occurrence echoes a recent pattern observed in the Suleja area of Niger State, where criminals targeted trailers laden with food items.
Responding promptly to the assault on the BUA truck, a police team dispatched to the scene managed to apprehend five suspects, as reported by Daily Trust.
