The National Emergency Management Agency on Wednesday said it has registered 26,391 Internally Displaced Persons as a result of the insurgency attack on Bama.
Responding to inquiries by our correspondent, the North-East Information Officer of the agency, Mallam AbdulKadir Ibrahim, said the influx into Maiduguri from Bama and neighbouring villages as a result of the attack on the commercial town of Bama stood at 26,391 as at last count.
Ibrahim said the number is growing by the hour as there are still people trooping into Maiduguri from Bama and neighbouring villages of Konduga and Kawuri.
He said the agency has started making arrangements to ensure that they are camped in Maiduguri and provided with adequate relief materials.
