The Armed Forces has risen in stout defense of the nation’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, warned that flying a foreign country’s flag in Nigeria is treasonable, adding it would not be condoned.
He also said that any attempt to undermine the democratic process would be resisted.
The CDC, who spoke with reporters at the State House in Abuja after the National Security Council meeting presided over by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, reiterated that the military would not permit any undemocratic change of government.
General Musa rejected the indiscriminate display of the Russian flag by protesters in Kano and Kaduna states at the weekend.
He described the display of foreign flag as a “red line” that cannot be tolerated, he vowed to bring to book the subversive elements behind the treasonable act.
Yesterday, many of the Russian flag-bearing protesters and tailors who sewed the flags were arrested by security operatives.
However, Russian Embassy in Abuja disowned the protesters, saying that its country was not behind their activities.
