The Benue Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) says 80 babies were delivered in Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps in the state in seven months.
The Executive Secretary of SEMA, Dr Emmanuel Shior, made this known on Friday in Makurdi during the agency’s monthly distribution of relief materials to the IDPs.
Shior said that the deliveries were registered by the agency.
He said that most of the IDPs were staying with their partners and this accounted for the high number of births recorded in the camps.
“It is the nature of man, even when they don’t have food, they have the desire for sex that cannot be taken away from the IDPs…’’, Shior said.
