Inspector General of Police, IGP, Kayode Egbetokun, has warned youths to desist from accepting foreign flags from agents of destabilization.
According to him, it is implicating to be seen with flags of other countries while on protest.
Egbetokun stated this during a press briefing on national security on Tuesday amid ongoing nationwide protests against economic hardship in the country.
The police boss said a number of suspects have been arrested over the Russian flag saga, adding that they will be dealt with accordingly.
“We still have in Kano, Kaduna, Katsina and Bauchi states, a group of people who started subversive campaign, waving flags of other countries, and openly calling for military take over of government.
“This is not a protest but an offense of treason. The Nigeria Police have arrested a number of them and they will be dealt with accordingly. They will be given the appropriate charges.
“I want to use this opportunity to warn our youth to desist from accepting foreign flags from agents of destabilization.
“It’s very very implicating for them to be seen with flags of other countries while on protest.”
