Ukraine Vs Russia: 50 Nigerians Flee To Hungary (Video)

About fifty Nigerians have reportedly fled to Hungary amidst the Russia-Ukraine crisis.

This was made known in a viral video which has emerged online.

In the video, a woman narrates the process of leaving Ukraine and the hurdles faced before they successfully arrived in Hungary.

Recall that Nigerians had claimed that they are being denied passage to Poland.

A source at the border told this news publication that he alongside six other Nigerian students were turned back while other nationalities were let through.

Speaking during a meeting with envoys of European Union countries, Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama said the government is receiving emergency calls from Nigerians fleeing Ukraine for Poland.

He stated that the government is aware that Polish authorities are refusing Nigerians entry.

“And we have had a number of calls, desperate calls and that there are cases of women and pregnant women and so forth,” Onyeama said.

While stating that other nationals of other African countries were being allowed into Poland, Onyeama said he has raised the issue with Polish Ambassador to Nigeria, Joanna Tarnawska.

However, Tarnawska had denied claims of  Nigerians not having access to Poland, explaining that everyone was treated fairly.
