\u2022 Forum warns against diversion of relief materials<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE Joint Task Force (JTF) and members of the Borno Vigilance Youths Group (BVYG) Wednesday announced the arrest of two women with arms strapped with their baby on their back in Ruwan Zafi and Zajeri wards of Maiduguri metropolis.<\/p>\n

 The women, according to the vigilance group were arrested during routine \u201cstop and search\u201d operations in the two affected wards, while commuting on the Dikwa road in tricycles.<\/p>\n

  Speaking on the increased arrest of women, Chairman of BVYG, Abubakar Mallum lamented to The Guardian that some women now are not only smuggling arms and ammunition to terrorists, they also poison water points and ground water reservoirs of residents in reclaimed areas of Budum, Abaganaram, Kaleri, Gambouru and Zinnari wards of Maiduguri.<\/p>\n

  He said the two female suspects with their babies, have been handed over to the sector commanders of JTF for further investigation.<\/p>\n

  Spokesman of JTF, Lt. Col Sagir Musa confirmed the incident.<\/p>\n

  Meanwhile, members of the Northern Youth Unity Forum (NYUF) in the North East sub-region of Nigeria have warned political parties and politicians against the diversion of the 650 trucks (19, 500 metric tonnes) of assorted grains recently donated by the Federal Government for distribution to residents in three states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa currently under the state of emergency.<\/p>\n

  The youths gave the warning at a press conference yesterday led by NYUF coordinator, Mallam Usman Mustapha at La Maraj Hotel, Maiduguri.<\/p>\n

  The relief materials, according to him, were to cushion the devastating effects of the four-year Boko Haram insurgency in the three affected states in the Northeast sub-region of the country.<\/p>\n

 Mustapha warned: \u201cThe N500 million being donated along with the 19, 500 metric tonnes of grains, are not to be diverted or misappropriated by selfish politicians, but shared among the affected residents of the three frontline states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa.<\/p>\n

  While thanking President Goodluck Jonathan for the relief materials and cash donations, he warned: \u201cWe wish to caution all those unpatriotic political elements that attempt to cause a diversion to the minister\u2019s commendable selfless effort in the name of opposition to desist from seeking political capital on the tears of orphans, widows and the physically, psychologically and economically distressed.<\/p>\n
