The breach could complicate security efforts by the police and other security agencies, who have recently beefed up security at the camp following reports that some crooks had been smuggling relief materials from the camp through the fence.
Meanwhile, NAIJ.com had previously reported that Child Protection Network (CPN) and the Benue State Emergency Management Agency (BSEMA) said three persons died in the recent flooding in the state, while 110 000 survivors risked contracting diseases.
