Some Nigerians on Monday stormed the Russian embassy in Abuja to protest against Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
We recall that the Russian military last week launched an attack against Ukraine.
According to the report, thousands of Ukrainians and other foreign nationals, especially Nigerians living in Ukraine, have been fleeing to neighboring countries for safety.
The protesters, who wore T-shirts with the inscription “Stop the war”, carried placards and also chanted songs saying “Putin, let there be peace”, “We are parents of Nigerians trapped in Ukraine”.
Some of the protesters, which include parents, friends, and loved ones of stranded and fleeing Nigerians in Ukraine, lamented the horrific reports they’ve been receiving about their loved ones/wards.
The protesters also called for peace between the countries and asked the Russian president to order the withdrawal of troops from Ukraine.
