There
was shootout between policemen and soldiers in Maiduguri Government
House Thursday afternoon when soldiers in a truck attempted to
forcefully get a share of the rice being distributed to Internally
Displaced Persons (IDPs) not living in camps.
Our
reporter gathered that the distribution of rice for the IDPs had
started from about a week ago under the watch of policemen in the
Government House who are to ensure that the rice is given only to people
with the required documentation.
It
was alleged that the soldiers who wanted to get from the rice today had
been coming to get from the rice since the distribution started without
appropriate documentation.
When the policemen refused to allow them to get from the rice today, shootout ensued leaving at least one policeman killed.
