What happened
The International Court of Justice ruled on the Cameroon-Nigeria boundary in 2002, including sovereignty over Bakassi, and Nigeria completed formal transfer under the Greentree framework in 2008. Bakassi remains a test of international law, border citizenship, oil-region identity, and domestic backlash.
