Femi Ashekun/

A Nigerian living in Kharkiv, Ukraine has tweeted about the situation in the country after Russia made good its threat of attack.

Tweeting via @eldrenna, he said internet connectivity has been disrupted, while a few essential services have also stopped working.

He added that most residents have packed their bags and were awaiting instructions to move to refugee camps.

He wrote, “UPDATE: I’ve packed my emergency bag up. Internet has gone down. Some services are not working. Refugees camp hasn’t been set up yet but we’re waiting for a signal to move. Wahala.

“For those in Kharkiv: If you haven’t got a plan yet, Please stay indoors. Find a way to stay online. Nothing is happening yet. Don’t panic.

“Thanks everyone. Staying with few people together.”
