Boko Haram Terrorists Now Hide In IDP Camps After Carrying Out Attacks – Governor Zulum Raises Alarm

 

Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum has cried out over activities of Boko Haram terrorists in his state.

 

He lamented that Boko Haram insurgents have infiltrated Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps in the state.

 

According to him, terrorists are using the camps as hideouts after carrying out attacks.

 

Speaking during the resettlement of 3,800 displaced individuals in Konduga Local Government Area, Zulum emphasized the growing security risks posed by insurgents blending in with displaced populations.

 

He urged the Nigerian Army and security forces to take immediate action to secure the camps and protect the vulnerable IDPs.

 

Zulum expressed frustration, saying, “We can’t tolerate this anymore. Boko Haram insurgents have infiltrated IDP camps, committing atrocities and perpetuating insecurity.”

 

He also expressed concerns over social issues in the camps, including reports of drug abuse and prostitution, particularly involving young girls, which he warned was undermining the state’s cultural values.

 

In response to the situation, Zulum announced plans to rebuild several communities, including Awulari village in Konduga, and to construct 500 housing units in Sandiya communities before the next rainy season.

 

He also provided financial and material assistance to returnees to help them re-establish their livelihoods while cautioning them against selling the resources provided.
