Naija News previously reported that the Department of State Services (DSS) had detained several tailors in Kano for allegedly manufacturing Russian flags, with some of their sponsors also being apprehended. The DSS posted on its X handle that the “Service has apprehended some tailors in Kano State responsible for making Russian flags being distributed in the area. Some of their sponsors have also been picked. An investigation is ongoing.”

In response, Ahmad’s brother, Nasiru Yusuf Muhammad, told Daily Trust that Ahmad has never been a tailor and lacks experience with sewing machines. He explained, “He is my biological brother and was arrested under the mistaken belief that he was involved in sewing the Russian flags. I want to clarify that he has never been a tailor, nor does he know how to use a sewing machine.”

Nasiru further explained that Ahmad is involved in the recycling of used water sachets, a business he operates under Nasiru’s supervision. He added, “The sewing machine mentioned in the accusations was not his and was found at a neighbor’s house, whose owner has since disappeared. Ahmad has never possessed or used the Russian flag in question and has not participated in any protests.”

The family is urging security agencies and relevant authorities to thoroughly investigate the matter and ensure justice is served. “We appeal to the authorities to review this case carefully and release Ahmad, as he has not committed the offense for which he is being held,” Nasiru concluded.
