In the states Borno and Adamawa, a total of 2,322 movements were recorded, comprising 1,567 arrivals and 755 departures, between 3 and 9 May 2021. Arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Gwoza, Hawul and Kala/Balge Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the most conflict-affected state of Borno and in Demsa, Girei, Gombi, Hong, Lamurde, Madagali, Maiha, Michika, Mubi North, Mubi South, Numan, Song, Yola North and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa.   Departures were recorded in Askira/Uba, Gwoza and Kala/Balge LGAs of Borno, and Fufore, Girei, Gombi, Hong, Madagali, Maiha, Michika, Mubi North, Numan, Song and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa.   ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: poor living conditions (862 individuals or 37%), voluntary relocation (605 individuals or 26%), improved security (534 individuals or 23%), conflict/attack (160 individuals or 7%) and fear of attack (154 individuals or 7%).

On 27 and 30 April 2021, fires broke out in Fulatari Camp and Waterboard Camp, damaging 2,878 shelters in total and resulting in a great loss of properties for the affected IDPs.   During the past years, there has been frequent fire outbreaks in the camps in Monguno LGA in Borno State. The fire outbreaks are the major reason for displacement within the camp and are generally triggered by cooking close to shelters, smoking, and burning of the bush surrounding the camp. Oftentimes, properties of the residents are destroyed and belongings are lost in the fire.   As a result of the fire outbreaks, the most needed assistance in order of priority is shelter, food and NFI.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), monitors the movement to and from Nigeria's Adamawa and Borno States, located in the North East Zone. Assessments are conducted at Points of Entry located along the border with Cameroon.   During the period 08 - 14 May 2021, 283 movements were observed at three Points of Entry in Borno State. Of the total movements recorded, 127 were incoming from Cameroon’s Far North Region while 156 were outgoing from Borno State to Cameroon‘s Far North Region.   A range of data is collected during the assessment to better inform on travellers’ nationalities, sex, reasons for moving, mode of transportation and timeline of movement as shown in figures 1 to 4 below:

The lingering conflict in Nigeria's North East Zone has been the major cause of widespread population displacement. Over 2 million persons have been forced to leave their areas of residence in search of safety and security in neighbouring Wards and LGAs.   On 01 and 02 March 2021, a Non-State Armed Group (NSAG) carried out an attack in Dikwa LGA. On 10 May 2021, Dikwa LGA was attacked once more by a Non-State Armed Group, leading to a new wave of population displacement. Following the attacks, flow monitoring assessments were conducted by DTM field staff with the purpose of informing the humanitarian community and government partners, and enabling targeted response. DTM enumerators were deployed in the transit point Dikwa Motor Park in the ward Dusuman in Jere LGA. IDPs passing through the transit point were asked about their intended destinations and most needed assistance.    As a result of the attacks, between 08 and 14 May 2021, a total of 1,346 individuals were displaced from Dikwa LGA towards the LGAs Jere and Maiduguri Metropolitan Council. They arrived at Dikwa Motor Park from various camps and communities in Dikwa LGA. As presented on the map below, their intended destinations were locations in the LGAs Jere and Maiduguri Metropolitan Council in Borno State. Meanwhile, between 08 and 14 May 2021, a total of 1,197 individuals have returned to Dikwa LGA from Maiduguri since the first attack on 01 March 2021.

Following the recent attacks in Palma Sede, DTM teams in Nangade, Mueda, Montepuez, Mecufi, Ibo and Pemba districts continue to register significant rise in IDP arrivals since 27 March. On the 17 th of May 2021, an estimated number of 1,232 IDPs were registered in the receiving districts bringing the total number of IDPs to 51,782 people who have been displaced from Palma.

Nigeria's North Central and North West Zones are afflicted with a multidimensional crisis that is rooted in long-standing tensions between ethnic and religious groups and involves attacks by criminal groups and banditry/hirabah (such as kidnapping and grand larceny along major highways). The crisis has accelerated during the past years because of the intensification of attacks and has resulted in widespread displacement across the region.   Between 10 and 16 May 2021, armed clashes between herdsmen and farmers, and bandits and local communities have led to new waves of population displacement. Following these events, rapid assessments were conducted by DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) field staff with the purpose of informing the humanitarian community and government partners, and enable targeted response. Flash reports utilise direct observation and a broad network of key informants to gather representative data and collect information on the number, profile and immediate needs of affected populations.   The Latest attacks affected 70 individuals including 3 injuries in Katsina-ala and Logo LGAs of Benue State. The attacks caused people to flee to neighbouring localities.
