Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force on Sunday arrested hoodlums suspected to have looted Next Cash and Carry Supermarket in the Jahi area of Abuja which was gutted by fire.
The FCT Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of operations, Ben Igwe, said the police were there to ensure the place is adequately secured.
He added that the place was barricaded to discourage hoodlums from looting the store.
Igwe said the cause of the fire cannot be immediately ascertained.
The FCT fire service, Federal Fire Service, the Fire unit of the Nigerian Navy and Guards brigade, and fire trucks from Julius Berger are still on the ground trying to quench the fire as of the time of filing this report.
