Ukraine: Trapped Nigerian on friendship and terror in Sumy

Nigerian veterinary student Samuel Otunla has been stuck in Sumy.

We hear from Nigerian veterinary student Samuel Otunla who has been stuck in the north-east Ukrainian city of Sumy since the outbreak of the conflict. Ahead of reports that evacuations have begun, he sent the BBC an account of life in a city that is close to the Russian border and frontline.

Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta has ordered the authorities to re-register all motorbike taxi operators following public outrage over an attack on a woman in her car in the capital, Nairobi.
