REVEALED: Ukrainian forces capture Nigerian fighting for Russian military

Ukranian forces have reportedly captured a Nigerian national, Kehinde Oluwagbemileke, who is said to have been fighting alongside Russian troops in the ongoing war in Ukraine.

In a video released by the Ukrainian Freedom of Russia Legion, Oluwagbemileke is seen being interrogated, stating that he was captured in the Zaporizhzhia region after serving with Russian forces for five months.

“Our stormtroopers have returned from a mission with an unusual trophy—Kehinde Oluwagbemileke. He was identified as 24-year-old Wang Wu. Apparently, due to a shortage of cannon fodder, Putin’s commanders are luring foreigners by deception to “defend the motherland” in far-off Ukraine,” it said.

It revealed that the man had been living in Russia for four years before his arrest on drugs related charges.

He reportedly agreed to join Russia’s military campaign in exchange for a reduced sentence, rather than serving prison term under Article 228 of the Russian Criminal Code.
