Over 700 Internally Displaced Persons in New Kuchingoro, Abuja, camp have kicked against their alleged neglect by the Federal Government, lamenting that they now rely on charity from churches and individuals to survive.
Most of the camp residents were displaced from Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State in January 2014, when the town was overrun by members of the Boko Haram sect.
Spokesperson for the IDPs, Mr Philemon Emmanuel, an indigene of Gwoza, made the allegation during a donation of seven cows, over 200 bags of rice, grains and unspecified bags of clothes to them on Thursday by the President of Christian Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor.
Oritsejafor was represented by the Chairman of CAN in the Federal Capital Territory, Rev. Israel Akanji.
