In a stern warning to protesters and dissidents, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Chris Musa has declared that displaying foreign flags in Nigeria constitutes a treasonable offense. This pronouncement follows a meeting between security chiefs and President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa to address ongoing unrest.
General Musa expressed serious concern over recent protests in Kano and Kaduna, which have escalated into violent disturbances.
He highlighted the troubling sight of foreign flags being waved during these protests, describing it as "totally unacceptable." Musa emphasized that such actions undermine Nigerian sovereignty and will be treated with utmost severity.
The CDS revealed that the initially peaceful protests had been hijacked by criminals, leading to widespread looting and theft. He condemned the use of foreign flags and the involvement of certain individuals in manufacturing and distributing them, noting that some are even exploiting children to carry out these activities.
Musa assured that the military and other security agencies are committed to defending democracy and maintaining order.
He dismissed allegations of military involvement in looting as misconceptions and vowed that those responsible for inciting unrest would face prosecution. The CDS reinforced the government’s stance on preserving national sovereignty and ensuring peace and tranquility throughout Nigeria.
