nemaNo fewer than 12,000 Nigerians, mostly from Borno, who fled to Republic of Cameroon due to insurgency attacks, arrived in Nigeria, Mr Sani Datti, the Spokesman of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), said.

He made the disclosure on Wednesday in Yola.

According to Datti, the returnees are presently undergoing screening by the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) and other security agencies.

He said “the Agency had so far received 1,121 of the returnees out of over 12,000 who returned from Cameroon Republic.

“They are now at Sahuda village in Mubi South Local Government Area, a border town.

“Out of that number, 650 have been transported to Borno, while the remaining are still at Malkohi Internally Displaced Persons camp in Yola.’’

The NEMA spokesman explained that the Agency was presently providing food and non-food items, as well as medical cover to the returnees at the border.

They were waiting for the conclusion of the immigration and security screening, he said.

Datti confirmed that arrangements had also been concluded to convey the returnees to a new camp in Fufore in Adamawa for proper care and rehabilitation.

He added that “NEMA had also established contacts with the Borno government over the returnees who were mostly from the state.’’
