Some internally displaced persons from captured Gwoza town protested on Saturday in Maiduguri, threatened to relocate to Cameroon should the Nigerian government fail to secure their homeland and rehabilitate them.

The protesters numbering about a thousand alleged that both the federal and Borno state governments have abandoned them, leaving them at the mercy of the Boko Haram insurgents who killed them at will.

Some of the protesters carried placards with inscriptions as "We are leaving for Cameroon," "Nigeria does not care for us," and "We are killed, our houses burnt and left to suffer like orphans," among others.
