Women, Children Protest Hunger In IDP Camp In Maiduguri

Led by women and little children, the IDPs from Kukawa and Guzamala local
government areas of the state, took to the streets from Teachers’ Village
IDP Camp to Mala Kachala bypass up to Bukumkutu Roundabout, where they
were eventually tear-gassed by the Police.

Fatima Ibrahim, an IDP from Kukawa, told SaharaReporters that they had
spent almost two hungry months at Teachers Village IDP camp.

“We are hungry; our children are seriously hungry,” she said. “Thirty
persons share a bag of rice. We are in need of foodstuffs; please tell
then to bring for us.”
