Some internally displaced persons in Banki area of Bama Local Government Area in Borno State on Monday embarked on a protest over failure of the authorities to supply them with food items.

The affected persons, who say they have been left to deal with severe hunger, destroyed cars and other valuables around the community to drive home their frustration as they demonstrated on Monday.

“They are currently protesting seriously that they are hungry. They have destroyed cars and properties. It is very serious,” a resident of the area told SaharaReporters.
