The Benue State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), has revealed that 380 pregnant women displaced from Yelewata in Guma LGA are currently sheltering at the Makurdi Ultra Modern International Market IDP camp.
According to the camp manager, Robert Nyom, the camp houses over 5,294 individuals across 2,336 households, including 2,536 children, 233 elderly women, and 181 elderly men.
Nyom dismissed claims that camp children were being given out for care, insisting due process must be followed and no such requests had been received.
He added that there are no immediate plans to close the camp or return the IDPs to Yelewata, urging patience while the government ensures adequate security and welfare arrangements are made.
