The federal government has released seven Polish students who were arrested in Kano State during the #Endbadgovernance protest on accusations of flying the Russian flag.
The foreign ministry in Warsaw confirmed their release.
Following their arrest, a Polish foreign ministry spokesperson rejected the accusation that they were waving the flags and said they were merely in the vicinity of the protest.
“The Polish students have been released and are in Kano,” the Polish foreign ministry said in a post on social media platform X.
“Thank you to everyone involved in the release of the Polish citizens!”
The students were in Kano as part of a programme to study the Hausa language.
