Sixteen students from Nigeria studying in Moscow have been arrested for thrashing a conference hall in their country's embassy in the Russian capital after an apparent dispute over financial aid issues, a Moscow police source said Tuesday.
According to the source, police received a fax message late Monday from the Nigerian embassy asking for assistance in dealing with a crowd of enraged students who refused to leave the embassy building after a discussion on financial issues. The students are said to have destroyed the furniture in the conference hall and threatened further destruction in other sections of the embassy.
Police arrested 16 Nigerian students on charges of hooliganism, the source said, adding that their administrative cases will be sent to a Moscow court for processing.
Moscow police officials later confirmed the incident without providing further details.

Good for the officials. Biting my tongue, except to say, how stupid do they have to be to do this in Russia.
Everybody is entitled these days...
Where do I sign up?
Those crazy hooligans are just wanting to have some fun.
Someday their prince will come.
That looks surreal to me.
If they aren’t sent to jail the won’t be in Russia long.
Seriously I think they will be deported and be put on a list to be denied a visa in the future.
If I were a Russian judge I would deport then rather than put the expense of jailing them on the government. Let Nigeria jail them.
There is a reason why Black Africa is a Fourth World Feces Hole....your own folks trash your embassy in a nation that isn’t hung up with you being former slaves....esp when their most celebrated literary figure is 1/4 black (Alexander Pushkin). Race Card not accepted

Nice hats - look warm, comfy and stylish - heh.....
Very stupid. I expect them to be expelled very soon and sent home.
It’s their own country’ embassy, so let the Nigerians deal with it
Have no fear......Vladdy Putin will take care of this situation in short order, not like our spineless gutless leaders.
It looks like Russia to me.
Can’t they just use their deceased uncles’ money? It must total in the $ billions by now.
