Nigerian lady painted looting scene
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a very talented Nigerian lady used her skill to paint the popular picture showing the moment a crowd went berserk and looted a warehouse of COVID-19 palliatives in Jos.
In an Instagram post, the artist revealed that it took her eight months of hard work to make the great piece.
If you were not told it is a painting, you would most probably mistake it for the actual pictures from the scene of the chaos.
