The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has confirmed that about
3000 refugees are still at the border with Cameroon undergoing registration
formalities before their relocation to Mubi for onward transportation back to
Borno State.
This was confirmed by Director General of NEMA, Muhammad Sani Sidi who
was in Mubi in the company of Deputy Governor of Borno State, Alhaji Zannah
Mustapha to bolster the operation on the ground.
NEMA is collaborating with the Borno Government in transporting its indigenes
who were displaced by insurgency.
Other refugees that have been received by Nigerian authorities are
camped at the border between Nigeria and Cameroon. Over 2000 Internally
Displaced Persons (IDPs) have been transported so far to safer locations in
Mubi while 600 of the refugees have been transported back to Borno.
