ALLEGED TREASON: DSS ARRESTS TAILOR SUSPECTED TO BE MASS-PRODUCING RUSSIAN FLAG IN KANO
According to the Department of State Services (DSS), some tailors in Kano State have been detained on suspicion of making Russian flags in large quantities.
The DSS said in a statement on Monday that some of the sponsors had also been taken into custody.
“The DSS can confirm that Adaramoye Michael (aka Michael Lenin) is not in its custody,” the agency wrote on its X handle.
“Meanwhile, 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.”
The action was taken in response to some #EndBadGovernance demonstrators in several northern states who were flying Russian flags. Why the protesters are hanging onto the flags is a mystery.
Prior to this, police in Nasarawa State had detained a few people they believed were manufacturing the flags in large quantities.
Witnesses saw the protesters racing through the streets in protest, flying the flag, and screaming songs in Hausa.
