Borno - The World Food Programme (WFP) has denied rumors, that media were allegedly reporting, that Boko Haram hijacked bags of WFP rice, while it was on the route to internally displaced persons (IDPs) camp in Damboa, Borno State last week. WFP said in a statement at the weekend that all its food dispatched in Nigeria over the past week arrived safely at its destinations without incident. "No WFP convoy was on the road to Damboa when the incident allegedly took place. WFP takes every precaution to ensure that all food is delivered safely and intact to hungry people who need it the most. This includes strictly following and complying with all necessary security protocols for dispatching food convoys in high risk areas such as Damboa. WFP would of course condemn any diversion of humanitarian assistance," the statement added.
