 NEMA Raises Concern Over Drug Abuse, Prostitution in Borno IDP Camp The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has raised the alarm over rising cases of drug abuse, prostitution, and other social vices in the Muna IDP camp in Borno State, which houses over 48,000 displaced persons. Speaking during a town hall meeting on Wednesday, NEMA’s North-East Zonal Coordinator, Abdullahi Sirajo, urged parents and community leaders to partner with authorities in curbing the growing menace, particularly among youth. Sirajo, represented by the agency’s Head of Operations, Manir Gidado, said the meeting concluded a five-day sensitisation drive aimed at promoting disaster preparedness and community resilience. Camp residents also voiced concerns about the deteriorating social environment, especially the exposure of children and vulnerable groups to harmful influences and worsening food insecurity.

OSUN ELECTION: DELAY IN PAYMENT OF ALLOWANCES OF SOME OFFICERS CAUSED BY THEIR BANK, NOT POLICE - FPRO 


- As Police Discredits News Reports 

With regards to the payment of allowances of Police Officers who participated in the Osun State Gubernatorial Election duty, it is pertinent to emphasize that officers scheduled for the duty had their account details forwarded to the Police Accounts and Budget (PAB) office at the Force Headquarters where payments were prepared and disbursed accordingly. 

The said payment of allowances to cover the election duty was disbursed directly into individual accounts from the PAB Office and not through any State Police Command. As such, individuals started receiving payment alerts even before the commencement of the election. 

However, one of the new generation banks (name withheld), with whom some of the officers accounts are domiciled, reported delays in disbursement due to technical issues. This was immediately followed up and from all indications, the concerned bank have commenced payments. 

All complaints with regards to this have been addressed internally and every officer captured for the election duty have been paid. This situation is noveau as it has not been experienced in the previous Anambra and Ekiti gubernatorial elections. It is fully the bank's fault and not that of the Force. Officers affected were communicated via SMS and internal memo as to the situation. Continuous complaint on this particular delay in payments which has been addressed amounts to impatience and indiscipline on the part of the affected officers. 

The reports and the news on non-payment of election allowances as widely publicized is misleading and unfounded, and should be disregarded.
