Alleged re-bagging of IDP rice: Shettima orders probe, arrest of culprits

Governor Kashim Shettima has directed the Borno State Command of the Nigeria Police Force and the Department of State Security, DSS‎ to investigate and arrest anyone found culpable in alleged diversion of rice meant for Internally displaced persons which was said to have been supplied by the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA.


The Governor’s directive follows the circulation of video clip and still pictures on the social media in the last couple of days which shows some bags of rice purportedly from NEMA being re-bagged by officials of the Borno State Emergency Management Agency.

Shettima was speaking when he hosted heads of all security and para-military organizations in Borno State alongside members of the Borno State Executive Council for Ramadan Iftar at the Government House on Friday night.
