In a tragic incident on Tuesday, a fire broke out in the Muna Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camp in Maiduguri, Borno State. The fire occurred in the Muna Alamdari IDP camp, resulting in the unfortunate loss of two children's lives. The exact cause of the fire remains unknown at this time.
Currently, neither the Borno State Police Command nor the state government has stated the incident. The Muna area has been significantly affected by the long-standing Boko Haram insurgency, causing widespread displacement and loss of life in the region over the past decade.
The authorities are yet to provide details on the circumstances surrounding the fire, highlighting the challenges faced by IDPs in the region, already grappling with the impacts of conflict and insecurity.
