IDPs in New Kuchigworo camp, Abuja, accuses leaders of selling some of the items donated to them

The Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) made the accusation on Sunday, November 1, when members of Advertising Practitioners Association Abuja Chapter visited the camp to make donations.

Confirming the allegation that those in charge of the camp sell some of the items donated to them by Nigerians and corporate organizations, one of the IDPs, told Vanguard that the leaders, especially
from the Gwoza camp usually take the advantage of the far distance of IDPs in the Bauchi camp and other far away camps to hoard their share of the donations and sell them to food sellers and sometimes to the real owners when they are faced with food scarcity.
     "It is true that most of the donations made to us are not getting to us. They sell some of the gift items to people. What the leaders do is that they sell some to the food items to food sellers and those that care to buy. Some IDPs too, sell theirs after collecting their share when they need money." he said
Other IDPs who spoke to Vanguard also confirmed the allegation and called on government to address their plight without further delay.

  2. Phew! its quite unfortunate, some people can even steal from the devil.
    The last time I visited the internally displaced people here in Abuja,I made sure I gave what I brought directly to the people affected, not the first people who presented themselves.

  9. There's enough blame to go around.Some hearless souls that are in charge of distributing it to the IDPs normally sell it to other people @ a subsidized rate.
    The IDPs too sell theirs to others to earn quick cash.
    The Donors haven't really put things in place to ensure accountability. I blame the state govt actually for the tupsey turvey way things are going in in those camps.Its a shame!
