Those flying Russian flag in Nigeria have committed a treasonable offence and will face the law--Chief of defence staff reacts

The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Mustapha on August 5 said those flying Russian flag in Nigeria have committed a treasonable offence, adding that the law would catch up with them

Speaking after an emergency security session with President at Aso Rock, the General said: “All of us have seen it where foreign flags have been flown within the sovereignty of Nigeria & that is totally unacceptable

We are warning in clear terms & the President has also said we should convey this, that we will not accept anybody, any individual flying any foreign flag in Nigeria

That is a treasonable offence & it will be viewed & treated as such. So nobody shall allow himself to be used by any individual. Also the issue of coups, Nigeria is a sovereign nation, Nigeria is a democratic nation all security agencies are here to defend democracy & ensure that democracy continues to strive

We will not accept anyone pushing or taking any action, seemingly or for whatever reason to want to push for any change of government
