Poland Defends Nationals Arrested In Nigeria Over Protests

Published

on

Poland has denied that seven of its nationals arrested in Nigeria were involved in suspicious activities or flew Russian flags during protests against government policies and economic hardship. Andrzej Szejna, Polish Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, told private radio station RMF FM that the six students and teacher “were in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

The seven Polish nationals were accused of playing a “suspicious role” in protests against government policies and economic hardship, according to the Department of State Services. They were arrested in Kano, a city in North-West Nigeria, on Thursday.

The Polish foreign ministry maintains that the detainees are students and a teacher, contradicting claims that they were involved in the protests. Warsaw University confirmed that the students are safe and are currently in Abuja, with the university authorities working with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other institutions to resolve the situation.

Nigeria is struggling with its worst cost-of-living crisis in years, prompting a week of protests across the country. The protests eased after a security crackdown, which rights group Amnesty International said left 21 people dead. Police and security forces claim seven people have died, denying responsibility for the deaths.

Security agents have arrested dozens of people for waving Russian flags in protests, similar to recent rallies in nearby Niger and Burkina Faso, where coups installed military governments that have moved closer to Moscow.

The Nigerian government has implemented reforms to revive the economy and attract foreign investment, but these measures have been met with resistance. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appealed for patience with the reforms, which the government says will improve the economy in the long term. However, the country’s military command claims protests have been hijacked by “sponsors” intent on subverting the government.
