The IDPs fled their homes after the last Friday invasion of some villages in the local government by bandits. The unending attacks have caused farmers who normally had food in abundance in their homes to now live in an undignified condition of street begging for food.
Some of the affected IDPs shared their grievance, Umar Danladi Musa, Hajiya Habiba Mohammed Tashan-Jirgi, and Hamza Mai-Anguwan Kutunku, stated that during the three-day invasion of their homes, the bandits carted away their foodstuffs and other valuable materials, which has resulted in their present challenge of begging for food.
This worsening situation calls for immediate intervention from the government and humanitarian bodies to help mitigate the suffering of the IDPs in Wushishi LGA.
It is crucial to ensure the safety of farmers and their households and to provide them with adequate protection from the bandits.
