The first group of Gwoza community refugees has returned home from the Republic of Cameroon.

The Daily Reality gathered that the group, consisting of 300 individuals, arrived in Pulka, Gwoza Local Government Area, after spending nearly 11 years in a refugee camp in Cameroon.

The return was confirmed in a statement issued by the Borno State Governor’s spokesman, Dauda Iliya.

The statement explained that the repatriation program follows the visit by Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, to the refugee camp in Cameroon on December 8, 2025. During that visit, Governor Zulum pledged to facilitate their safe, orderly, and dignified return home.
