The World Food Programme (WFP) has denied that food items meant for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) were hijacked by Boko Haram insurgents.
The statement by the agency reads: ” The United Nations World Food Programme strongly denies reports in The Cable and other media alleging Boko Haram ‘hijacked’ bags of WFP rice en route to an IDP camp in Damboa (Borno State) last week (Friday, May 26). The reports are totally inaccurate. All WFP food dispatched in Nigeria over the past week arrived safely at its destinations without incident.
