IDPs Protest In Niger, Demand Security In Camps

Some aggrieved Internally Displaced Persons ( IDPs) on Thursday blocked Tegina-Minna Road in Niger State.

The IDPs, mostly women and children, were protesting alleged negligence and security in their camps.

They also blamed the state government for abandoning them since they have sought refuge at the camp after banditry attacks sacked their communities.

Over 5,000 people are currently taking shelter in five IDP camps provided by the Niger State government after bandits attacked many communities in the areas.
