According to Ibrahim, what were looted were kits and mattresses for the Corp members who were billed to resume in two weeks.
He, however, added that some of the youths have voluntarily returned what they looted.
The looting of the Youth Corp orientation camp occurred in the wake of series of looting incidents across the country in the past couple of days after miscreants hijacked the #EndSARS protests.
The Kubwa Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Abuja, had said some of the rampaging hoodlums who looted the NYSC Camp in the town attacked and almost stabbed while trying to protect the facility.
