Cameroon repatriates over 5000 Nigerians

The governor of Borno state, Babagana Zulum, has announced that 5,000 Nigerians refugees have been repatriated to the state from Cameroon.

A statement on Zulum’s facebook page revealed that the handing over took place on Monday and was led by Cameroon’s minister for territorial administration, Paul Atanga Nji, and other officials of his country.

The returnees were part of thousands of Nigerians, mostly from Borno, who since 2014 fled in batches to Minawao camp located in Mokolo far north region of Cameroon, to escape boko haram’s killings.
