Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum has returned 680 internally displaced person (IDP) households into the Waraveh border community with Cameroon.

The IDP returnees had been living in Maiduguri, Gwoza and Pulka IDP camps, before they returned to their ancestral homes along Bama/Gwoza road.

Announcing the official return, yesterday (Friday) at Waraveh, Zulum disclosed: “Three Hundred and Forty houses were completed, but 680 households trooped into this Community,” adding that the returnees are not going back to the camps, because of the limited completed houses.
