Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State raised the alarm on Sunday about Boko Haram’s activities in camps of internally displaced persons, IDPs.
Zulum said Boko Haram members are using IDP camps as hideouts after committing crimes.
The governor raised the alarm during the resettlement of 3,800 displaced persons in Konduga Local Government Area.
He urged the Nigerian Army and security agencies to take decisive action in protecting the vulnerable IDPs.
Zulum insisted that the presence of Boko Haram members poses a security threat and also endangers the well-being of the displaced persons.
“We can’t tolerate this anymore. Boko Haram insurgents have infiltrated IDP camps, committing atrocities and perpetuating insecurity,” the governor said.
Zulum also raised concerns about the social dangers in the camps, noting that some displaced girls were reportedly engaging in prostitution and drug abuse, which he said undermines the state’s cultural values.
“We won’t tolerate this. It is ruining our reputation and culture,” he said.
