A slight scuffle erupted between locals and IDPs on Sunday when a not-for-profit group hosted a party for the IDPs at Karmiriji IDP Camp, Abuja.

A slight scuffle erupted between locals and internally displaced persons on Sunday when a not-for-profit group hosted a party for the IDPs at Karmiriji IDP Camp, Abuja.

An estimated two million people are said to have fled their homes across the north-eastern part of the country, the region most affected by the deadly acts of the terrorists, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. “So, we thought we should do something for them. Now, we do this every year to put smiles on their faces. Like we all know, words may be forgotten but memories last for a life time,” Ms Sylvester-John toldThe party featured face-painting and dance competition as the displaced persons, mostly Muslims, set aside their religious beliefs to be regaled with the party’s glamour.

Ms Sylvester-John said her foundation is committed to the eradication of poverty by providing tools for sustainable development to vulnerable people living in rural communities across Nigeria. He complained about the unemployment and insecurity in the camp “as we live among the Karmiriji locals who often thwart distribution of relief materials with chaos”.As if to confirm the fears of the IDPs, the event was almost marred by persons who disrupted the distribution of the items.
