The National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and
Internally Displaced Persons has condemned the forceful return of Nigerian
refugees from Cameroon which is against international laws.
The Federal Commissioner, Hajia Sadiya Umar Farouq, in a
statement, said it is unfortunate that Cameroon has continued forceful return
of Nigerian refugees even after signing the Tripartite agreement with Nigeria
and the United Nations which seeks to ensure the safety, proper handling as
well as voluntary return of Nigerian refugees who are in that country following
the Boko Haram crises.
She stated that, the parties agreed to provide people
wishing to return with clear information on the situation prevailing in their
areas of return in order to make a well informed and voluntary decision.
She urges Cameroon to respect and observe the international
protection principles.
While restating the commitment of the National Commission
for Refugees, Migrants and Internally displaced Persons to the protection of
its persons of concern,the Federal Commissioner, also expresses readiness to
facilitate their return in safety and dignity.
