Benue state government expresses concerns over the invasion of snakes in IDP camps


The Benue State Government has expressed concern over the presence of snakes in some of the Internally Displaced Persons camps across the state. 


James Iorpuu, the Executive Secretary of the State Emergency Management Agency, highlighted this concern during the recent distribution of relief materials to the IDPs in Wednesday.

He added that to curtail the occurrence of snake bites in the camps, the agency had fumigated all the camps, including the Ikyogen camp


Mr. Iorpuu therefore called attention to the need for ongoing support from local and international partners in addressing the issue.
