At least four Nigerians recruited to fight for Russia in Ukraine have been killed on the battlefield in Ukraine, according to sources familiar with the matter.
DAILY NIGERIAN exclusively gathered that the slain Nigerians — Adam Anas, Akinlawon Tunde Quyuum, Abugu Stanley Onyeka and Balogun Ridwan Adisa — were recruited on the false pretense of “security job” but ended up being conscripted and deployed to the war front after three weeks of training.
While the quartet of Messrs Anas, Quyuum Onyeka as well as Abubakar Adamu (the only survivor) traveled together in November 2025, Mr Adisa was recruited earlier in the year.
The Russian Embassy in Abuja, in an apparent connivance with the Nigerian recruiting agent, granted the Nigerian mercenaries a single-entry tourist visa without biometric capture and fulfilling other application requirements.
Although the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Nigeria has drawn the attention of applicants that submission must be made in person and that “reliance on a third party may incur a visa denial”, yet the conscripts were granted visas without submission in person.
The mercenaries were promised a tempting monthly salary of 200,000 ruble (about 3.6million naira) as well as allowances and other perks.
