One of the IDPs, Mohammad Awwal, said, “Our brothers went to plant yam but were kidnapped. The criminals came around 4pm. What we normally do is to go and return. If they (bandits) open our yam barns and take the ones they want, they don’t close the barns thereby allowing goats to eat our yam seedlings.”
