Borno Govt To Close IDP Camps Over Increase Of Prostitution The Borno State governor, Babagana Zulum, on Wednesday said that the state has proceeded on the closing of camps for displaced victims of the northern insurgency. Zulum made this known during the commissioning and handing-over of 582 units of houses to returnee IDPs at Auno, a small community in Borno. He said that increasing prostitution and aid racketeering among Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are some of the issues that have compelled the closure of the IDP camps. ‘The situation at the IDPs camps in Borno is not palatable. There is increasing prostitution in the camps, food racketeering among IDPs. We can no longer allow all these,’ the governor said. The governor mentioned that the government was relocating IDPs in accordance with global standards for resettlement and rehabilitation of displaced persons or refugees. ‘The government is relocating the IDPs in conformity with laid down procedures, particularly the Kampala convention for voluntary, safe and dignified return and resettlement of IDPs,’ he explained. Governor Zulum said the government has spent about N200 million for the resettlement exercise. He said the exercise was also to ensure the revival of public institutions that have hitherto been converted into camps for displaced persons. He disclosed that 82 of the 582 houses were built by the Bank of Industry as support to the state. The state’s Commissioner for Resettlement, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction, Mustapha Gubio, who is also the chairman of the Resettlement Committee, said that over 3,000 households have been relocated from Maiduguri IDP camps. Gubio said that the 582 houses were made up of two-room detached apartments for each of the households allocated to the IDPs at Auno. He said some of the IDPs agreed to be relocated to Auno, a neutral place, while others preferred to return to their local government headquarters or rent apartments in Maiduguri with support from the government. Some of the IDPs in Auno, however, are yet to be allocated house three days after their relocation. ‘We’ve been sleeping in the open. We have not been given houses, officials said allocations have finished. We don’t know what to do again,’ Goni Ahmad, one of the IDPs, told Daily Sun.
