From captivity to celebration — hope has found its way back to an IDP camp in Kogi.
A woman recently rescued from kidnappers has safely delivered twin girls at an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp in Kogi State, in what officials describe as a powerful symbol of resilience amid ongoing security operations.
The state’s Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Femi Fanwo, confirmed the development on Monday, noting that the mother’s identity is being withheld for security reasons.
Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo has ordered immediate medical support, directing that the mother and her newborns be moved to the State Specialist Hospital for comprehensive postnatal care. Both the mother and the babies are said to be stable and responding well to treatment.
The IDP camp was established as a temporary rehabilitation centre for victims rescued from kidnapping dens. Survivors receive medical attention, psychological support, and assistance before being reunited with their families.
Officials say the camp has recorded a rise in rescued victims, crediting intensified security operations across the state.
For many at the facility, the birth of the twins is more than just good news — it’s a reminder that even in the shadow of insecurity, life and hope endure.
