Senate urges military to beef up security in IDPs camps

Senate President Bukola Saraki, on Thursday urged the Military to beef up security in the Internally displaced Persons(IDPs) camps in order to protect them from insurgents’ attacks.
Saraki, in a statement issued in Abuja by his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Mr Yusuph Olaniyonu, condemned the recent attacks in IDPs’ camps by the Boko Haram insurgents.
The statement was in reaction to the suicide bombing in an IDPs camp in Dikwa, Borno, where scores of persons including women and children were reportedly killed.
While sympathising with victims of the attack, the Senate President in the statement advised security forces to step up intelligence gathering activities in order to prevent future attacks on defenceless citizens.
