Angry IDPs block vehicles loaded with “stolen” relief materials

(Endowed Blogs.)Benue Governor, Samuel Ortom
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the protest started when a truck, 2 Hilux vans, a bus and a saloon car loaded with relief materials from the camp warehouse, were about to drive out of the camp.
A NAN correspondent, who was at the camp, reports that the protesters overpowered the security guards at the camp, and blocked the camp entrance to prevent the vehicles from moving out with the materials.
The visibly angry protesters sang songs which accused camp officials of diverting relief materials and abandoning them to die of hunger.
Efforts to confirm where the items were being taken did not, however, yield fruits as the drivers of the vehicles and their team members, refused to speak with NAN.
