A humanitarian crisis may soon hit some communities in Boki Local Council of Cross River State following the illegal migration of over 8,000 Camerounians from the English-speaking (Anglophone) part of the country, Guardian reports.
The newspaper leant that the upsurge was caused by the crisis from the struggle for independence by the Anglophone Camerounians in the country.
Over 15,000 migrants were said to have besieged the various Cross River communities in the last few days.
It was further leant that about 6, 000 migrants had arrived in the communities two weeks ago, even as 2,000 others followed through the porous border lines between the two countries.
The Head of Abo clan in Boki local council, Otu Bernard Abang Eban said: “We are deeply worried because our children, men and women are facing hardship. The figures from this migration are rising daily and feeding the refugees has become difficult for us.
“The government and the UN should supply sleeping, food and other relief materials to help the people. We also need health facilities and medical personnel, especially as most of these communities are located in difficult terrains.”
Meanwhile, the Cross River state government through the Urban Development Authority (CUDA) is doing all possible to see that psychotic people (mad people) are kept away from the streets, social and commercial centres across the state.
