Polish Students and Lecturer Released After Detention in Nigeria

The group was arrested during protests in Kano, accused of carrying Russian flags, but Poland insists it was a misunderstanding.

Six students and a lecturer from Warsaw University were detained earlier this month in Kano, Nigeria.
They were accused of carrying Russian flags during anti-government protests but Poland disputes this claim.
The students were in Nigeria for a Hausa language study program and were released with all their belongings returned.
Protests in Nigeria were triggered by economic reforms, leading to widespread unrest and government crackdowns.
The Polish students and lecturer are in good health and will return to Poland this week.
