Polish Students Freed After Russian Flag Drama
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Seven Polish students, who found themselves at the wrong place at the wrong time, have finally been released from custody. According to the foreign ministry in Warsaw, these young Poles were arrested earlier this month in Kano, a northern state of Nigeria, allegedly for waving Russian flags during anti-government protests.

Now, anyone familiar with the situation in Nigeria knows that the government has been on high alert due to massive protests across the country since August 1st. These protests were sparked by President Bola Tinubu’s controversial economic reforms, which have hit Nigerians where it hurts most, fuel and electricity subsidies have been partially removed, the currency devalued, and inflation has shot up to levels not seen in thirty years. So, when a few Russian flags were spotted at the protests in Kano, security forces jumped into action.

The Polish foreign ministry wasted no time denying the allegations, stating that their nationals were merely in the area and had absolutely nothing to do with any flag-waving. Despite this, the students were detained, leaving many wondering about what exactly they were supposed to have done.

After some diplomatic back-and-forth and, no doubt, a fair amount of head-shaking on both sides, the Polish foreign ministry announced via X (formerly Twitter) that their students had been released and were still in Kano. “Thank you to everyone involved in the release of the Polish citizens!”

Meanwhile, the protests in Nigeria show no signs of stopping. With Russian flags making a surprise appearance in some northern states, there’s growing concern about Moscow’s growing influence in West Africa. But if you ask the Polish students, they’ll probably tell you they were just unlucky tourists caught up in Nigeria’s latest drama.
