Nigeria needs to step up security for IDPs – Global Humanitarian Agency

A global humanitarian agency says Nigeria must step up security for those displaced by Boko Haram violence after suicide bombers killed twenty-eight people at the entrance to a refugee camp.

The head of Norwegian refugee council in the country, Ernest Mutanga said, camps sheltering innocent families fleeing war should be places of refuge but instead, they are turning into death traps.

This came after three female suicide bombers blew themselves up at the entrance to a camp for displaced people in Mandarari near Maiduguri in North Eastern Borno state.

Reports gathered that the eight-year Boko Haram violence has killed at least 20,000 and forced over 2 million others to flee their homes.
