The United Nations said on Friday it was "amazingly frightened" by the constrained return by Cameroon of thousands of evacuees to north-east Nigeria, where Boko Haram Islamists represent a proceeding with risk to regular citizens.
"This activity was absolutely sudden and puts lives of thousands of outcasts in danger," the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Filippo Grandi, said in an announcement.
Cameroon constrained "a few thousand" displaced people back to Nigeria this week, including 267 on Wednesday, the UN office said.

"I am speaking to Cameroon to proceed with its open entryway and neighborly strategy," Grandi stated, while approaching the administration to quickly end any more returns and meet its commitments under worldwide law.
Cameroon has 370,000 outcasts, 100,000 of whom are Nigerians, as indicated by the UNHCR.
Prior this month, in excess of 9,000 individuals fled to Cameroon after an assault on an army installation and help structures in the town of Rann in north-east Nigeria's Borno state.
The assault was faulted for the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) group of Boko Haram, which has completed comparative attacks against troops since July a year ago.
The upsurge in brutality has constrained a huge number of individuals to escape, including inside uprooted individuals who have returned home after past assaults.
