Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo is currently in Maiduguri, Borno state, to launch the special intervention relief plan for internally displaced persons (IDPs).

 

Osinbajo’s visit is coming hours after Boko Haram members attacked some towns in Maiduguri, the capital city, burning houses and killing residents.

 

Part of a statement posted on Twitter by the acting president's spokesman, Laolu Akande, read;

 

"Acting President, Osinbajo arrives Maiduguri to launch Special Intervention Relief plan that distributes over 30G kg of grains to IDPs in NE quarterly.

"Shehu of Borno's palace is Osinbajo's first port of call, where he discloses it's in heart of President Buhari that FG feeds IDPs.

"Osinbajo arrives Maiduguri to launch Special Intervention Relief plan that distributes over 30G MT of grains to IDPs in NE quarterly."

 

Recall that on Wednesday, security agents engaged Boko Haram insurgents in a gun battle that lasted hours. Though residents were assured of safety, many of them fled their homes.
