The Governor of Borno State has discovered “650 ghost households” when he visited a camp of Internally Displaced Persons in Borno State.
Zulum’s visit to the camp located at Mohammed Goni College of Islamic Legal Studies in Maiduguri, the state capital, was a move to put a stop to rampant cases of dubious residents pretending to be displaced.
A statement issued on the Facebook page of the Governor revealed that the fake IDPs spend day times at the camp when food is being shared, and towards the night they return to their homes.
The statement read, “Around midnight on Sunday, Borno Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum showed up at Mohammed Goni College of Islamic Legal Studies in Maiduguri, where internally displaced persons from Abadam local government area of northern Borno were being camped.
