Angry Buhari spits fire; gives police new order regarding the stealing of materials and food donated to internally displaced persons.

Apparently dazed by the way civil servants have been stealing materials and food donated to internally displaced persons at the various camps across Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari has given the police a marching order. The president asked the police to immediately commence the arrest of such thieving civil servants and make an example of them before others.

The internally displaced persons have been kept in various camps after their villages and towns were overran by the Boko Haram, a sect that has killed thousands of Nigerians and people in neighbouring countries since their emergence in 2010. Different bodies and non-governmental organisations have overtime donated materials to the camps habouring the displaced persons, but there had been allegations that government officials often steal the materials thus keeping the victims of terrorism in perpetual hunger. Recently, photographs of hunger-stricken persons at the camp have been making round and it is believed that this had embarrassed the federal government that had often been silent over the allegation.
