IDP officials allegedly sell children for up to N100,000

“Re-Telling #IDPs Stories Using Visual Data and Infographics #IDPsTracker has revealed that child trafficking biz is a thriving and well-run racket in most IDP camps.

“That foods are not being supplied, no water or medication for sick kids. That they should be taken care of or sent back to their villages.

“An IDP rep says they are not fighting but fighting for their survival to protest against hunger and thirst in their respective camps. The protesters involve mostly women and children.

“Hundreds of IDPs have left their camps and have taken to the streets, while certain persons have been taking advantage of IDPs situation to enrich themselves, no asked what will happen when the IDPs get tired.”

The organization also claimed that there was evidence that government officials and leaders of groups operate an elaborate system through which they smuggle children out of IDP camps to make money and parents are forced to keep quiet through threats that they would be kicked out of camp into the waiting hands of Boko Haram insurgents.
