Whistleblower Exposes Hijacked Relief Items Meant For IDPs

A whistleblower has help authorities to uncover a warehouse where food items which were meant for an IDP Center, are allegedly hijacked and kept.

The items are said to have been left in the warehouse for over a year, leading to the expiration of some items.

Some Nigerians have labeled the crime - "a direct hit against FG's efforts to support and reintegrate victims of the IDP Centers back into the mainstream society - a clear case of sabotage and inhumanity."

The burden of IDPs is not for the states and Federal Government to shoulder alone. It's a societal burden that must be carried by each and every Nigerian.

"We can contribute to the betterment of the victims if not financially at least, by keeping our eyes open to prevent unpatriotic elements from subverting government efforts to support the IDPs," said Maiwada Dammallam who shared the post on social-media.

Expectedly, the culprits were reported to be running from pillar to post trying to wriggle out of the embarrassing situation. This is a special appeal to those within Bauchi to dig further and ensure FG's efforts are not compromised.

It's our duty to keep our eyes open to ensure necessary action is taken to determine the guilt or innocence of the culprits and to also ensure IDPs around us always gets a fair deal" Maiwada further stressed.
