The www.icirnigeria.org has learnt that in spite of improved security in the northeast, particularly in Borno and Yobe States, internally displaced persons, IDPs, who had returned home are still reluctant to go back to the farmlands they left in the wake of the Boko Haram insurgency for fear of landmines and further attacks by the terrorists.
