BLOOD MONEY? THE STORY OF IDP CAMPS IN THE NORTH EAST.
The story and deaths of many internally displaced persons in Nigeria especially in the North East part of The country are so alarming at this point, that silence is no longer Golding.
While many allegations about the squandering of money meant for IDP come and go many are still going on and more will still come while the people who the money is meant for, die every day as a result poor condition of their camps and malnutrition which ordinarily if the money appropriated to them are channeled to the right quarters could solve.
Recently, the report of the outbreak of cholera in the camps has come out again and it is alleged that more than 10,000 people have been afflicted by the ongoing cholera outbreak in Nigeria, according to the government. Of these, 175 were reported dead in the states of Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe as of early November 2018.
The crowded nature of the camps has continued to aid the spread of the disease and the result has always been death.
Every day more people die in the different camps and more are afflicted by different diseases. Yet people enjoy the money meant for them while the people die(blood money).
The alleged 270 million for cutting grass in one of the IDP CAMPS IN 2016 are among the many fraudulent activities that go on every day as the money meant for them is pocketed daily and peanuts given to the IDPs.
Government should at a time like this have pity on the people, investigate the money meant for the IDPs, and as a matter of urgency appropriate, allocate and use the money judiciously to better the lives of the people as they are not the cause of their being displaced.
GOD BLESS NIGERIA…
