 More than 3,000 Rumi IDPs have been displaced following the demolition of their camps on the 21st of December 2022 by the FCDA Joint Tax Force. According to the camp leadership, the authorities accused them of harboring bandits and other criminal elements, which they vehemently debunked. Plus, TV Emmanuel Heijena has the reports. These are faces of helplessness and despondency. They are the internally displaced persons occupying the Rumi IDP camp who have just been displaced once again by the Federal Capital Development Authorities with their prior notice. Many have been finding it difficult to cope with the cold weather at night, which have mostly affected the health of women and including three newborn children who for days have had to stay without enough food. The country director, Action Aid Nigeria, NOB, who brought relief materials for the victims in a press conference explained the hardship experienced by the IDPs since the demolition This is an urgent need for psychosocial support and for health support because they have been traumatized. There are also the IDPs' belongings are now exposed to theft. Those who have few belongings left and to the same criminal elements that the Federal Government is said to be seeking to abolish. Action Aid Nigeria is deeply concerned by the plight of these displaced persons and as well we stand in solidarity with them. Today we will be providing this household some of the households as much as we can carry because it's an emergency and we don't have enough money but we have to bring in some non-food items and some dignity kits because more than 70% are women and so we are appealing to donor agencies and also other organizations to corporate organizations and you know to come to the help of the IDPs so that they can also look at the issues of economic empowerment alongside food and non-food items. It is important for corporate organizations to look beyond the immediate physical environment for the implementation of the corporate social responsibility. The leadership of the camp also voiced their discontent on the manner the FCD authorities conducted the demolition exercise. We have divisions inside our places during the division. They are working together with them. They are working together with the DSS. They are working together to add all of them. They are working together with them. They just couldn't in regard, just couldn't in terms of this, couldn't demolish everything. My women's and their children's just letting us in. Imagine a woman had a weakness for nine months because of this demolition. I delivered this woman who had no reach. Even if he reached like one hour before, he would not cry. I want to believe that the integrated agencies are not very practical. I want to just take hold of this entire area. Convey this sort of a seminar on whatever national and for this IDP issue. Because if this commission was established three or two years ago, it means something was happening that time or it's coming. So I wish I could comment that the only way I thought is for the government to agree with that, to sit down with IDPs and just go with the issue. One of the displaced peasants, Sarah David, narrated her family's a deal in the hands of an FCDA staff. Over 3,000 peasants from 330 households in total who are mainly from the Nord-Eastern region comprising of peasants from Goza in Bono state constitute 70% of the entire population while the others are from Adamawa and Yobi state. It is a case of double jeopardy for the Durumi IDPs as the government wants them to leave the FCT while there is unrest in their ancestral home of Goza. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
