Stop waiving foreign flags, calling for military takeover – Police warn protesters

The Nigeria Police Force has issued a stern warning against the display of foreign flags and calls for a military takeover during protests, stating that such actions are considered treasonable felonies under Nigerian law.

This warning comes in the wake of a series of violent protests, particularly in Bauchi, Kano, Kaduna, and Katsina States, where protesters were seen brandishing foreign flags. Ongoing investigations reveal that protest organizers in these states have been luring innocent children into participating in these “unpatriotic and criminal acts.”

Over ninety suspects have been arrested, including tailors who sewed the flags and their sponsors. Efforts are underway to apprehend others who sponsored the production of the flags and fuelled these treasonable acts.

The Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, has directed Deputy Inspectors General of Police for the Northwest and Northeast zones, DIGs Bala Ciroma, psc, and Bello Makwashi, to take charge of operations in the affected states and stabilize the situation to prevent further violence.

The Police Spokesperson, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, stated that the display of foreign flags and calls for a military takeover constitute a clear treasonable offense, revealing the motives of protest organizers to destabilize Nigeria’s democratic government. He cautioned Nigerian youths to be wary of individuals and groups turning protests into “business ventures,” funded by local or foreign sponsors aiming to destabilize the country.

The Police acknowledged the patriotism of Nigerians who have refused to participate in or spoken out against the “ill-timed protest” and those who withdrew from the protests when they turned violent. The NPF remains committed to maintaining peace, protecting the nation’s heritage, and working with the public to ensure the safety and stability of Nigeria.
