Bayelsa IDPs accuse govt of hoarding relief items for flood victims

Victims of recent flooding in Bayelsa State who are living in settlements for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) have accused the state government of hoarding relief materials donated by organisations and individuals to ameliorate their sufferings.

A letter jointly signed on Saturday by the Chairman and Secretary of a committee for the Coalition of Respective Leaderships of Aggrieved 2022 Flood Promoted IDP Camps in the state, Pastor Leighe Nathaniel and Christian Iwokurai, noted that the palliatives donated were hoarded by government officials as the flood victims were denied access to them.
