Some of the Nigerian youths living in Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, camps in Cameroon have been arrested for drug related offences.

The National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, said the culprits were specifically apprehended for using illicit drugs in the camps.

The Director-General of NEMA, Sani Sidi, made this known while delivering 1,460 bags of assorted food items on behalf of the Federal Government for the feeding of about 80,709 Nigerian refugees, mostly from Borno State, in the Republic of Cameroon.

In a statement made available on Sunday by the agency’s Head of Media and Public Relations, Sani Datti, NEMA appealed to youths in the camps to desist from using drugs and urged them to always be of good character and be good ambassadors of their country.

According to the statement, “Some youths in the camp were recently arrested for drug use.”

The agency said that the affected Nigerian refugees in the camps were victims of the Boko Haram insurgents and were taking shelter in Minawao and other locations in the far north region of Cameroon.
