Yesterday, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA)said that it had been faced with a growing challenge of daily increase in numbers of internally displaced persons (IDPs) at established camps in the North-east region of the country as insurgents continued to invade communities.
The agency said the weekend attack by the insurgents on Madagali in Adamawa State, a town which has been host to many fleeing victims of insurgency from captured Gwoza town in Borno State is another challenge.
The information officer of the agency in the region, Mallam AbdulKadir Ibrahim, who disclosed recently that NEMA had registered about 12,000 IDPs in neighbouring towns to Gwoza, complained on Sunday that the agency had to face another challenge of establishing other IDPs camps as a result of the attack on Madagali.
