Maiduguri — OVER 33,000 residents of Gwoza in Borno State displaced following Boko Haram attacks and killing are taking refuge in four different border towns and villages of Cameroun without relief materials from the state government since August, the Chairman of Borno State Chapter of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Bishop Mohammed Naga yesterday said.
The cleric, an executive member of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) while briefing Governor Kashim Shettima at the refugees' resettlement centre, Wulari ward, said, "We have 33,000 people from Gwoza Local Government Area currently seeking refuge in different border towns and villages in Cameroun. Your Excellency, the displaced Gwoza residents are taking refuge in Marwa, Mokolo, Fotokol and three other villages of Cameroon and are yet to return or repatriated by the state government through Yola, because of insecure border roads along the Gambouru-Dikwa-Gwoza-Madagali axis in Borno and Adamawa states."
