Dipo added that no one should encourage such illegal activity in any kind of way as it is really bad.
He tweeted:
"Looting foodstuff isn’t possessing your possession. You are a thief just like most of the corrupt politicians we criticise. Don’t encourage this sort of nonsensical behaviour with words of flattery."

"Exactly what I was discussing with my sis. A thief is a thief! You can't say because they government stole, u also have to steal from them. Two wrongs can never and will never make a right."

"@OgbeniDipo have you ever been hungry and have no hope of food in your life? Please lets not be judgemental unless you have been in the shoes of those you want to judge. This is the reason those countries we praise have plans for social welfare."

"You can’t loot what’s yours, so it’s not looting. It’s just locating your foodstuff and transporting them to your home"
@FEMMY466 said:
"The people looting stores and malls are definitely thieves, nobody is disputing that. However, if you are talking about the people repossessing their seized palliatives, I'd like to ask you to explain if leaving it to spoil in the warehouse is a better alternative."
