Chad arrests, deports Nigerians fleeing jihadists

Hundreds of Nigerians living in Chad, seeking safety from a jihadist insurgency, were rounded up and deported last week. About 600 Nigerians were detained in mass arrests and dumped in the Cameroonian town of Kousseri. Chadian authorities confirmed the deportations, stating it was a routine operation against undocumented immigrants, regardless of nationality.
