The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) on Tuesday said that anti-insurgency operations and general insecurity had uprooted over 6,000 people in north-eastern Nigeria.

This is contained in a report presented in New York by the UNHCR spokesperson, Adrian Edwards.

According to the agency’s report, more than 6,000 of those affected have fled to neighbouring Niger republic for safety.

“Those that have spoken to UNCHR say they fled for fear of being caught in the government-led crackdown on insurgents linked to the Boko Haram sect, particularly in the Baga area of northern Nigeria, close to the Niger border,’’ Mr. Edwards said in the report.
