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
