Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has recovered a suspected stolen vehicle at the Durumi Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp in Abuja, amid fresh concerns over alleged criminal activities within the camp.<\/p>\n

The vehicle, a Toyota Corolla with registration number AAA 364 GL, had been abandoned for over 14 days before it was retrieved by the police.<\/p>\n

Investigations are ongoing to determine the circumstances surrounding its presence in the camp.<\/p>\n

Following the recovery, security expert and counter-insurgency analyst Zagazola Makama raised concerns over what he described as the growing criminal enterprise within the IDP camp.<\/p>\n

In a post on X on Friday, Makama alleged that the Durumi camp, originally established for displaced persons from Gwoza due to Boko Haram insurgency, has become a hub for illicit activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeyond housing displaced persons, the Durumi IDP camp has become a center for criminal enterprises, including drug trafficking and the operation of \u2018One Chance\u2019 syndicates that terrorize Abuja residents,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Makama further alleged that despite previous demolitions by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), makeshift shelters have been rebuilt, allowing illegal activities to persist.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the destruction of the camp by the FCTA, they have erected new shelters some distance away and continued their illicit activities unabated. They usually assemble in the evening before being dispatched to various locations, while some of them have customers coming to buy drugs within the camp,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n

According to him, the area reportedly harbors a bunker where cocaine and other hard drugs are sold, allegedly controlled by a suspected drug kingpin identified as Hamman.<\/p>\n

He also warned that some young men within the camp were being recruited into \u2018One Chance\u2019 robberies, a criminal scheme where unsuspecting victims are lured into vehicles and robbed of their belongings.<\/p>\n

Makama called on security agencies to intensify surveillance and crack down on criminal elements operating within the camp to prevent further exploitation of displaced persons and ensure public safety.<\/p>\n

The police have yet to respond to these allegations.<\/p>\n
