Shi’ite sect fingered behind Kano Russian flags

As children masquerading as protesters carrying Russian flags filed out in Kano, the dreaded Shi’ite Islamic sect and some Northern opposition politicians have been fingered behind the flags.

These opposition politicians are said to be bent on using the protest to create unrest and possibly violence, which, in their thinking, will help unseat President Bola Tinubu.

The flags are being mass produced in Kano and Kaduna and circulated among the youngsters dressed in the garbs of protesters.

Security sources told WESTERN POST that the flags being brandished by the protesters in Kano were being sponsored by the Islamic sect.

Carrying another country’s national flag in a sovereign nation is treasonable.

Security agents are already investigating the development and any leader or member of the sect discovered to be behind the production of the flags will be apprehended.

Already, the police have arrested no fewer than 30 #EndBadGovernance protesters with Russian flags in Kano and other cities of the North.

Also, one of the flag producers, identified as Ahmed Bello, was arrested with a large quantity of the flags in Kano.

Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, disclosed in Abuja on Monday at the Strategic Communications Interagency Policy Committee joint press briefing.

He added that the police were on the trail of other suspects, especially the sponsors of such acts.
