WARRI—THE Committee for the Defence of Human Rights, CDHR, in Delta State, has alleged that some politicians have diverted relief materials meant for flood victims.
CDHR, in a statement by its Chairman, Mr. Benefit Orugbo, said it had been inundated with complaints that relief materials sent by government to flood victims were being diverted and that victims, who were relocated from their communities because of the disaster, had been abandoned.
The group said among those affected were people from Alafrigbene I and II and Kamota communities in Bomadi Local Government Area; Ogbodobri, Obuma and Onionegbene communities in Burutu Local Government Area; and Okwagbe and Egbo-Ide communities in Ughelli South Local Government Area.
It said that in a bid to survive, some of the internally displaced persons had taken refuge in settlements in different parts of the state and called on both the federal and state governments, “not to allow greedy politicians hijack relief materials for the victims.
“We also call on Delta State Government, as a matter of urgency, to make adequate arrangement and assemble members of the flood affected communities at secured centres.”
