After escaping Ukraine, a Nigerian student died a few weeks later.

One of the Nigerian students who left the Ukraine conflict has perished in Sokoto, Nigeria's northernmost city.

The cause of Huzaifa Habibu's death has yet to be determined.

Habibu Halilu Modaci, his father, told the BBC that he was rushed to the hospital after complaining of pain and a loss of appetite.

The 22-year-old student, who had been studying medicine in Ukraine, was set to graduate next year and had only recently returned to Nigeria.

It was his first visit back to his hometown in three years.

Mr. Modaci claimed that his son had described the horrors of the war and the haste with which people attempted to evacuate Ukraine.

Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine last month, Nigeria has evacuated almost 1,500 of its students.

However, around 100 more people are still stranded in Kherson.
