A Nigerian undergraduate, Faramade Ifaturoti, who’s a student of Warwick University, United Kingdom, on Tuesday, raised an alarm over racist acts that were aimed at her.
According to Faramade, one of her flatmates wrote the words ‘monkey’ and ‘nigga’ on a banana and left it in the kitchen.
Faramade expressed her disgust in series of tweets.
