Some of the Nigerian students and Turkey citizens detained for their alleged involvement in coup
These are some of the alleged photos of over 50 Nigerian students and other students arrested in Turkey over the attempted coup.
They were arrested alongside some citizens of the country. The
detained Nigerians were all escorted to a room and their passport
confiscated by Turkish police, according to Thisday.
The detainees are mainly students of Fathi University, a private university in metropolitan Buyukcekmece district of Istanbul.
Turkish police claimed the students belong to a terrorist
organisation and were offered to be transferred to government schools on
the condition to pay the same fees as private universities, Thisday
further reported.
Fathi University happens to be among the 2099 schools, dormitories
and universities shut down by the Turkish government in the wake of the
July 15th failed coup in Turkey.
The schools and universities were accused by the Turkish government
to be terrorist schools because they have links with Islamic scholar
Fethullah Gulen, whom the Turkish government had accused of being the
mastermind of the coup in Turkey.
17 Turkish schools in Nigeria had earlier been requested by the
Turkish Ambassador in Nigeria, Mr. Hakan Cakil, to be closed down by
Nigerian authorities for alleged links to the Hizmet movement.
