One person has been confirmed dead with unspecified number of Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs injured when a fire suspected to have emanated from a cooking point escalated in Muna Elbawawi, near Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.

The incident which took place at about 1.30 pm on Friday, also razed down over one hundred shelters, leaving hundreds of IDPs stranded and displaced from the camp.

This is even as it has become a routine, and not a surprise, as specified number of IDP camps hosting millions of IDPs in the state do experience fire on yearly basis.

According to the Information Officer of the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, North East Zonal Office, Mallam Abdulkadir Ibrahim in a press statement on Friday said, NEMA team and Fire Service Personnel promptly responded and saved the situation from further destruction.

“The fire incident is suspected to have been caused by cooking fire from one of the shelters.

“Officials of NEMA, Nigerian Red Cross Society and other stakeholders promptly responded, and administered first aid to the injured victims, as we regretted that one life was lost in the inferno”. Ibrahim stated.

This is a sad one! The IDPs are subjected to a lot of harrowing experiences daily. May the dead RIP and quick recovery to the injured.

Can anything good come out of the North

Just imagine the havoc self-inflicted insecurity is causing in the noorth, yet they don't want it ended. When will these IDPs go back home and enjoy normal life?

See them

The terrorists that led to the creation of the IDP camps are pampered and invited to high tables, including planning scholarship for them, overseas; while the victims, who are now homeless and foodless (obviously battling varying degree of depression plus daily gnashing of teeth) are often bombarded by allege error missiles (supposedly meant for presidential terrorists), raped, starved, murdered and killed by subsequent misery fire, and their woes are further compounded.

What a country build on ironies and paradoxes.

Even more sadden is that, they will still vote for the senile vegetable, if he runs for a third term.

Let is blame IPOB shiooor

Q

Very sorry to Nigeria

Issokay!!!

Chai rest in peace to the dead, ID camp is a place that should be monitored very well to avoid sudden attacks from terrorists or fire outbreaks, they should do everything to avoid repeation of such incidents..careless of few shouldn't require wailing from me

No fire service close to idp camps? And the idps could not put off the fire or they went to work? I thought idp camps are make shift structure.

Can anything good come out of the North

1994 kids never cease to amaze. After our loss at the World Cup, nothing good came out of that year. The kids born that year, make up the high percentage of rapist, kidnappers and yahoo boys in our society
