A devastating fire has claimed at least two lives and left several others injured at the Mandalari Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp in Konduga, Borno State.
The inferno also displaced families who had already lost their homes due to insurgency.
According to Zagazola Makama, the fire broke out around 11:25 am on Friday, February 28, 2025, and quickly spread through the overcrowded camp, destroying makeshift shelters and personal belongings.
Security personnel, including troops stationed in Konduga, swiftly responded to the scene, working alongside emergency responders and local community members to control the fire.
