Kayode Idowu, Maiduguri
On Monday, an inferno destroyed parts of a camp in Nganzai Local Government Area of Borno State.
A source at the National Emergency Management Agency said details about the fire at Nganzai are sketchy because the town is difficult to travel to due to the constant threat of Boko Haram attack on the highway leading to the area.
The second incident occurred at the highly populated Customs IDP camp in Maiduguri on Wednesday.
The incident which started at about 6am, according to some displaced persons at the camp, destroyed over 600 shelters and led to the death of a child with two old women injured.
