Nigeria pulls troops from Bakassi before handover
Nigeria has pulled thousands of troops out of the Bakassi peninsula ahead of a Monday deadline for a complete withdrawal, but many residents said they will resist a handover to Cameroon. The International Court of Justice ruled in 2002 that Nigeria should turn over Bakassi to its eastern neighbour after a decades-long dispute that nearly brought the two to war in 1981.
