The Benue State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) has uncovered a total number of 80 newborn babies within seven months in the state’s Internally Displaced People, IDP camps.
This, according to reports was as a result of the difficulty to control the sexual libido of IDPs
The Executive Secretary of SEMA, Dr Emmanuel Shior, told newsmen during the agency’s monthly distribution of relief materials to the IDPs on Friday, July.

Speaking on the distribution process, he explained that the deliveries were registered by the agency.
Moreso, he spoke on the sexuality in the camp, noting that most of the IDPs were staying with their partners which provoked the high number of births recorded in the camps.
Shior said:
“The agency is very strict on illicit sexual affairs in the camps. It is very difficult to control the tide of births in the camps, the IDPs are human beings.
It is the nature of man, even when they don’t have food to eat, they have the desire for sex; that cannot be taken away from the IDPs. Most of them have their families at the camps.
The aspect we try to control is unmarried people sleeping with each other; other unlawful sexual acts are also forbidden in the camps.”
