Handing over the cheque to officials of the agency in Lagos, the Senior Pastor of the Church, Pastor Sam Adeyemi, said the gesture was in line with the mission of the church to reduce the sufferings of the internally displaced persons, IDPs.
The UNHCR’s Country Representative to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Antonio Jose Canhandula, who painted a vivid picture of the trauma and sufferings being experienced by the IDPs, said the donation would be used to provide life-saving emergency assistance to families forced to flee their homes. Cahandula also revealed that 2.8 million Nigerians were also internally displaced within the country, explaining that those displaced were mostly people from Borno, Adamawa and Yobe States who had been forced to flee their homes because of violence, conflict or persecution.
