Former Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Abubakar Tsav has berated the action of Emmanuel Shior, executive secretary, Benue State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) for walking out the Nigerian reporter that exposed the ills at the camp from a SENA assignment in Makurdi.

He also warned the Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom against politicising the issues of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).

Tsav said, ” In my view, it is an act of wickedness and mischief for the Executive Secretary of Benue SEMA to turn away or block out Journalists for reporting the deplorable situation in IDP camp where about 8 people were reported dead and one missing. I visited the camp in Daudu severally and what I saw is not good enough. I am saddened with disgust.
