Nigerian student in Ukraine: 'I'm afraid but don't want to panic'
Nigerian medical student Jessica Orakpo is stuck in the western Ukrainian city of Ternopil and has told the BBC's Aaron Akinyemi that fear and panic is widespread following Russia's full-scale military assault on the Eastern European country on Thursday.
She is one of around 4,000 Nigerian students studying in Ukraine. Orakpo said she wants to leave but is stuck because Ukraine's airspace has been closed.
