A former federal lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani alleged that
the idea of protesters flying the Russian flag in Kano, Zamfara and some other
northern states was birthed by plot to overthrow the President Bola Tinubu’s
government.
DAILY POST reports that there have been concerns over the
flying of foreign flags in the northern states by some EndBadGovernance
protesters.
The protesters who were captured in several video clips were
seen flying the Russian flag, clamoring for military rule in Nigeria.
Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force, NPF, the Department
of State Services, DSS, and other security agencies have effected several
arrests of individuals involved in the matter.
Speaking on the development, Shehu Sani who featured on
Channels Television’s program on Tuesday, said it was an attempt by some
elements to overthrow the government.
He said, “A day before the last protest, money was shared to
the youths, and Russian flags were also shared.
“That shows that the whole intent of the protest is not
simply about the policies and programmes of the government.
“There was an attempt to create an atmosphere where there
would be an overthrow of the government.
“When you have this kind of situation, you will see that
someone is writing a script for anarchy, lawlessness, and disorder. It is
incumbent for someone like us to speak.”
