According
to the report, Which was released Yesterday, November 11th by the
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), 13,000 Nigerian
refugees mostly women and children, fled Mubi town in over 300 vehicles
and settled in towns of Guider and Gashiga in the North region of
Cameroun and to Bourha, Mogode and Boukoula in the Far North of
Cameroon.
Although some Cameroonian nationals say most of the
Nigerians that arrived their villages have returned to Nigeria and have
settled at the refugee camps set up in Yola, Adamawa state capital,
UNHCR say it is investigating claims that those who returned to Nigeria
were forcefully sent back.
"We
are also examining claims that some of these refugees may have been
forced to return to Nigeria. We are seeking assurances from both Nigeria
and Cameroun that the return of these people was done on a voluntary
basis. Cameroun is hosting thousands of refugees from Nigeria and
Central African Republic and we encourage Cameroon to continue with its
policy of welcoming refugees."
