The North East Development Commission said it has closed 90 per cent of the camps for the Internally Displaced Persons spread across Borno State.
The Managing Director, NEDC, Mr. Mohammed Alkali, who disclosed this on Monday in Abuja, added that the commission facilitated the successful return of over 90 per cent of IDPs to their ancestral homes in the state.
The IDPs’ camps are used as makeshifts for people affected by insurgency in the country. Due to the high rate of terror attacks, several states set up camps to temporarily accommodate the victims.
On Sunday, troops began a search for 101 female IDPs abducted by suspected Boko Haram insurgents in the Gamboru-Ngala and Dikwa local government areas of Borno State.
