The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Mustapha has cautioned those flying the Russian flag, saying it is a treasonable offence.

Some #EndBadGovernance protesters in the northern region of the country have been spotted waving the Russian flag as the demonstrations entered Day 5.

That has sparked a wave of comments from several quarters including the CDS who described the move as unacceptable.

“All of us have seen where foreign flags have been flown within the sovereignty of Nigeria, and that is totally unacceptable. We are warning in clear terms and the President has also said we should convey this: that we will not accept anybody, any individual flying any foreign flag in Nigeria,” the CDS said in Abuja after a meeting with other service chiefs and heads of security agencies with President Bola Tinubu on Monday.

“That is a treasonable offense, and it will be viewed and treated as such. So nobody shall allow himself to be used by any individual.”

According to him, most of those flying the flags are children who are being sponsored, describing the action as crossing the red line.

Already, security agencies have arrested some suspects for mass-producing the flag. The Department of State Service (DSS) said it has also nabbed their sponsors in Kano.

“For those of them flying flags – and if you’ll see a lot of them are kids being pushed to do that. We’re following up with those sponsoring them,” General Musa said.

“Those are pushing them because you know, the flags were also made. We have identified those areas and we are going to take serious action against them.”

The CDS reiterated security agencies’ resolve to defend the country’s democracy.
