FUFORE, Nigeria (AP) -- Cameroonian troops crossed the border into Nigeria, killed about 150 villagers, burned their huts and forced them to flee, Nigerian refugees said Tuesday after walking for days to reach a refugee center.

Cameroon's government denied the charges, that come amid growing tensions between Nigeria and its neighbors over the Boko Haram Islamic uprising that has spilled over Nigeria's borders.

Farmer Mariamu Abubakar said Cameroonian soldiers on Nov. 30 killed about 150 people in his village near Nigeria's Banki border post, stole their livestock and set their huts ablaze.

He was among 643 refugees who arrived Monday night at Adamawa's Fufore transit center. Soldiers who screened them said they came from Gamboru to Banki, a 150-kilometer (95-mile) stretch along Nigeria's border with Cameroon.

While it is unclear who attacked whom and why, it is "a real humanitarian disaster," said David Miliband, the visiting president of the New York-based International Rescue Committee. "They are unable to go home because it's not yet safe and because they fear for their lives."

Nigeria's petroleum minister said last week he expects a major oil discovery soon in the Lake Chad Basin, likely to fuel more border conflicts in the northeastern part of Nigeria that s Chad, Cameroon and Niger.

Earlier Tuesday, Gov. Bindow Jibrilla of Nigeria's northeastern Adamawa State accused Nigeria's neighbors of sending their nationals into his state disguised as refugees. Jibrilla told reporters he didn't know why it was happening but that there were thousands.

Cameroon said its troops fighting "in synergy" with Nigerian soldiers carried out a "coordinated operation" on several border villages around Lake Chad Nov. 27 to Nov. 29. It said they freed at least 900 people held by Boko Haram extremists.

"We have a highly trained military that respect human rights," said Cameroon government spokesman Issa Tchiroma Bakary. He denied Cameroon has forcefully evicted Nigerian refugees though Nigerian officials have reported receiving several thousand in recent months.

boko haram killed them, set their houses on fire, stole their livestock and they are now blaming cameroon soldiers.
how can cameroon soldiers come and attack nigerian villages and steal their livestock when they have a stable government and can source for food from their country.

Another episode of season 3.

Jesu kristi! now tell, pray that Nigeria is not a failed country. What I know is that only failed countries are invaded at will by other countries, examples are Somalia, Syria, Iraq, Afganistan etc. It is an act of war when a foreign country invades another or encroaches its airspace except that country is no longer functional. This is not the first time Cameroun is invading Nigeria, the last time, their army even granted a press conference about how they killed Shekau during an air raid in Borno State! recently, it was reported that Benoinise gendermes invaded some villages in Kwara State. Our neighbours know too well that NA is a joke & pack of cowards. Nigerians should continue living in denial that all is well just like the ostrich that buried its head in the sand.

Ikwere na Biafra welie le'm ofu aka gi elu!!
only biafra can save Nigeria from the impending doom.

Nonsense ....if it wasn't for the cameroonian army, none of you would be alive.

At first,it was the beninoise hoisting flags in kwara state,with the nigerian police denying.


Now it's cameroone killing,maiming and displacing then denying.

Bone of contention=Lands.
I think nigeria is a land grabbing state:

Well i comment my reserve before i get banned AGAIN
