Nine Nigerian students have been reportedly kidnapped in the Ukrainian city of Lugansk, according to a statement by the representative of the National Security and Defence Council Information Centre, Andrey Lysenko.
The statement added that the students are being held in a seized building of the SBU.
It said further that relatives of the kidnapped students had been making efforts to address a press conference at the Nigerian Embassy in Ukraine.
He added that negotiations have been underway to free the nine students allegedly taken captive by separatists in the eastern city of Luhansk.
Lysenko told a news conference yesterday that people with experience were conducting negotiations and contact with “the terrorists.”
He added that Ukraine hoped that the talks would end “successfully in the near future.”

You want to protest, no problem, do that at your own expense and time. Why Nigerian students? What have they got to do with it? What happened to your own people? So the colour of your protest is black. This is racism to the power infinity.
