The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) on Friday said it had reunited more than 200 children with their parents affected by the Boko Haram insurgency.

This was revealed by the Head of Operations, NEMA, Adamawa and Taraba office in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Yola.

Bello said the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) under Restoring Family Link Programme was part of the successful re-unification.

“Meanwhile, we still have about 165 unaccompanied children in four designated camps in Adamawa,” he said.

He said the children were mostly between the age of 5 and 12 from Bama and Baga in Borno.

The official said some families from Bama visited some Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps in Yola where they identified their children.

He said after intensive investigation by appropriate authorities concerned, the children were handed over to their parents.
