Borno State Commissioner of Police, Abdu Umar, has confirmed the killing of 23 Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) by the suspected members of the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) in Mukdala village, located about 10 kilometres north to Dikwa town, on Wednesday.
Briefing the newsmen in Maiduguri on Saturday, CP Abdu said: “I am just telling you that I have interacted with the chairman of metal scavengers, he is saying that those ones are not scavengers, they are members of an IDPs camp who want to earn a living.
“The story given by the media has said scavengers but the Chairman of metal scavengers is now saying none of them is their member.
“None of them is their member because they have their registered members and that is the state, where we should investigate the incident and come out with a report.
“They have their guidelines in buying these scraps, the Chairman of metal scavengers is just here behind you, you can ask him so that you get more facts from him.”
