The governor of Amadi state said the World Food Program and two other organizations have resumed their operations in Mvolo, Bahr Girinti and Nyere areas after they suspended their operations last week following the killing of a humanitarian aid worker.

Governor Joseph Ngere Pachiko told Radio Tamazuj yesterday that the suspension was part of security measures by the state government after a driver for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) was killed.

He claimed that the security situation in the area has been restored and many aid agencies have resumed their operations. He also noted that some parts of the state still remain unsafe for aid agencies to operate.

On Tuesday, the ICRC announced that it will only resume activities in Amadi state when the state government and armed groups assure them of their safety.
