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 UN 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.
