Items donated included: bags of rice, yam flour, cassava flour, several cartons of noodles, table and sachet water, cartons of yoghurt, kegs of vegetable oil, bags of powder milk, among others.

In his remarks, the executive secretary, State Emergency Management Agency, Emmanuel Shior, commended the gesture of the Yoruba leader.

Shior explained that the agency had informed the state governor, Samuel Ortom of the need to close down two camps  due to their vulnerable to attacks by the militia herdsmen.

According to him, ‘recently, we noticed that the militia herdsmen have been attacking two IDPs camps at Terkimbe and Agbeda, this made us to report to the state governor on the need to officially close down the camps.’

“We expect  that the affected displaced persons  move into  town and put up with their relatives”, he concluded.
