Six Cameroonian soldiers and six other asylum-seekers were also injured in the incident, which took place in Homaka, Mayo Sava Division.

“This tragic incident is a disappointing testament of continuing forced returns (refoulement) of refugees and asylum-seekers from Cameroon, despite numerous appeals by UNHCR to the Government of Cameroon to respect its obligations,” said Valentin Tapsoba, Director of UNHCR’s Regional Bureau for Africa.

“The forced return of refugees and asylum-seekers is in violation of the principle of non-refoulement which constitutes the cornerstone of international refugee law to which the Cameroonian State is party.”

UNHCR noted that over 800 Nigerian refugees and asylum-seekers in Cameroon have been forcibly returned to Nigeria since the beginning of 2018.

It therefore called upon the government of Cameroon to refrain from carrying out further forced returns of Nigerian refugees and asylum-seekers.

It also reminded Cameroon of its obligations under international law relating to the protection of refugees and asylum-seekers and the commitments it made by signing the Tripartite Agreement for the voluntary repatriation of Nigerian refugees from Cameroon in March 2017.

UNHCR reiterated its appeal to authorities to provide Nigerian refugees with unhindered access to asylum and also expressed its readiness to support Cameroon to ensure that all individuals seeking safety have access to efficient screening, registration and documentation procedures.

Some 96,000 Nigerian refugees have sought safety in the Far North region of the country, with more than 8,000 new refugees registered since the beginning of 2018, UNCHR noted; stating that Cameroon currently hosts more than 367,000 refugees and asylum-seekers.

What is ikorodu turning into naa? Can't believe this! So much Tears in My Eyes. Truly, lagos state needs our prayers!
The girl you see in the Picture below is kikelomo Sarah kunwumi, a Final year student at the University Of Lagos lagos State - Nigeria. Yesterday, she left the house and was going for a Youth Program at her Church at about 3pm. She took a Bike... (The man you see in the picture), was the bike man, whose names we got as adisa adewale. On their way to the church the Bike man took a different road. Kike asked why, he said he was running away from the police. Kike started feeling Uncomfortable but kept quiet and was just praying knowing the world we are living in is filled with evil! The man continued and took a different road she begged him to drop her, he increased the speed instead. The man headed for a near by bush, dropped her, pretended he was urinating and then dropped a 1000 naira note.He then told kike she dropped her money, she said no it wasn't hers. But he insisted and started forcing her to take the money. Kike cried out! A man in the near by heard, hurried to the Scene, beat the man up, and was forcing him to take the Money. And behold, that was when my Television went off cos Nepa took light so I could not finish the Film.....
Ayam in my house, comman beat me o!
