He even said it was part of the protests, that churches fly flags and flying Russian flags in protests has nothing to do with threatening the country.Whereby, we are all aware that the Russian machinery is all over the ECOWAS region through the Wagner group. The coups in the region had Russian input through the Wagner group.”From the investigation that has been unruffled, we believe that foreign machinery is behind it. According to information from the NSA office, over 80 billion is being earmarked to be used to destabilise the country.” “We saw Atiku endorsing it in the north and the Labour Party presidential candidate (Peter Obi) endorsing it. None of them condemned flying Russian flags, but they endorsed this protest.”Why raising of Russian flags is treasonable – Lawyer”I would call this a total treasonable felony offence rather than a protest. Anyone liable for it, including their lead lawyer, mobilizer, and any other person who has a hand in it, should take responsibility.”Russia speaks on Nigerian protesters waving its flags
