The
military has evacuated the rescued 275 women and children from the
Malkohi Camp, near Yola. The women and children were recently rescued
from the Sambisa forest by the military. The women and children were
brought to the Malkohi Camp about three weeks ago by the military who
handed them over to the National Emergency Management Agency.
The NEMA Camps Coordinator
in Yola, Sa’ad Bello, confirmed that the
women and children have been evacuated from the camp but said he could
not say where the military took them to. Mr. Bello said the evacuation
of the IDPs was purely a military affair which he could not comment on.
Efforts to get the military’s reaction on the development did not yield results.
