“The story subsists: some arrests made

Diversion Relief Maize to A Private Company in Jos

Reports alleging the diversion of over 20 trailer loads of maize meant for relief to A private company in Jos is under investigation. The company, it is alleged, had already started using it to process poultry feed. Chai.

Authorities were alerted last night and they took prompt action. The SSS has sealed the premises and the owners are being traced now. Arrests, I learnt from impeccable sources, have been made.

This is the type of action we want to change the country.

I spent last night thinking of our poor IDPs. They are there left hungry in some camps and according to reports in some cases camp officials use food as a bait for seducing them into abominable acts. And their relief material is somewhere turn into chicken feed. Diarris God wo…

Kudos to some residents of Bukuru who raised the alarm. Thank you for not keeping quiet.

Jazakumullahu khairan.
