The protests, which have spread to states such as Kano, Plateau, Kaduna, and Zamfara, have seen demonstrators displaying Russian flags. President Tinubu deemed this behavior unacceptable and instructed the security chiefs to address it decisively.

The meeting, lasting approximately two hours, also addressed the involvement of non-state actors calling for governmental changes. The security chiefs were directed to maintain peace and order in response to these developments.

Chief of Defence Staff General Christopher Musa, who led the military and paramilitary officials at the meeting, briefed reporters on the situation. He described the protests as increasingly violent, with incidents of looting and destruction of public property. General Musa emphasized that the display of foreign flags within Nigeria’s borders was unacceptable and would be treated as a serious offense.

He stressed that the military and security agencies would not tolerate any disruption to Nigeria’s peace and sovereignty. General Musa assured that those responsible for the protest and flag display would face legal consequences.

Addressing allegations of military personnel being involved in looting, General Musa dismissed these claims as misconceptions. He clarified that the military’s role was to maintain order and that no armed forces members were involved in illegal activities.

The meeting also included Vice President Kashim Shettima, Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, and Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun, underscoring the high-level commitment to restoring stability and security in the country.
