<p>Authorities also arrested hundreds of Cameroonians and Nigerians accused of collaborating with Boko Haram, said Midjiyawa Bakary, governor of Cameroon’s Far North region.</p>
<p>They deported Nigerians who said they were refugees but were not staying at refugee camps and lacked identification papers.</p>
<p>“We noticed that in the different villages there is a certain population of foreigners and they are hiding behind some Cameroonians and hiding those Boko Haram suspects,” Mr Bakary said.</p>
<p>Women, children and men were taken across the border to the Nigerian town of Mubi, he said. A Cameroon government agency has deployed staff to educate people on how to identify extremists.</p>
<p>The UN refugee agency said a camp in Cameroon’s Far North Region now hosts about 44,000 people and estimates there are 12,000 unregistered refugees in the region.</p>
<p>In Nigeria, many of those expelled said they were forced out quickly.</p>
<p>“It was a terrible journey. We spent almost six days on the road &#8230;,” said Musa Kawuri, a 52-year-old trader. “We initially pleaded with the Cameroonian officials to give us grace of some days,” but were put in trucks.</p>
<p>Adamawa State Emergency Management Agency chairman Haruna Hamman Furo said 12,000 Nigerians are expected to arrive from Cameroon.</p>
<p>Everyone expelled would be sent to Yola, Adamawa’s state capital, said National Emergency Management Agency camps co-ordinator in Adamawa, Sa’ad Bello.</p>
<p>“Their condition is good,” he said. But some refugees said that several people died during their hike to the border.</p>
<p>Boko Haram violence has killed thousands and displaced more than 1.5 million people.</p>
