Nigerians have expressed mixed reactions after the former Albanian president, Sali Berisha was punched in the face by a thug and left with a black eye during an anti-government protest in the capital of Tirana.
Naija News reports that the opposition leader was leading protesters to the venue of a summit of EU leaders and their Western Balkan counterparts in Tirana when a 31-year-old man emerged from the crowd and attacked the politician on Tuesday, December 5, 2022.
The video of the incident making the rounds online shows the moment Berisha received a punch before his bodyguards rushed to subdue the attacker.
According to Dailymail, the suspect who was taken into custody had suffered from psychiatric irregularities and had previously faced charges involving acts of violence and drug trafficking.
The video sparked reactions from many Nigerians who wondered what will become of a person who does the same to Nigerian president, Muhammadu Buhari.
