The young Polish students and their teacher arrested in Kano during the EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest have been released.
Poland’s Foreign Minister, Radoslaw Sikorski, disclosed this on Wednesday via X.
The Nigerian Government had arrested seven Polish citizens in Kano over suspicion of their involvement in the brandishing of Russian flags during the EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest.
Faulting their arrest, the Polish authorities said they were University of Warsaw students and a teacher, who found themselves “in the wrong place at the wrong time”.
However, Sikorski said with the release of the group, they would return to Poland soon.
According to him: “I would like to confirm that the young people are already free, back in Kano, on campus, with passports.
“I think the young people received an accelerated lesson in African studies… I hope they will be back in the country soon.”
