The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Christopher Mustapha has cautioned those flying the Russian flag, saying it is a treasonable offence. 

Some #EndBadGovernance protesters in the northern region of the country have been spotted waving the Russian flag as the demonstrations entered Day 5.

That has sparked a wave of comments from several quarters including the CDS who described the move as unacceptable.

General Mustapha described the development as unacceptable urging Nigerians not to allow people with hidden agenda used them to undermine the sovereignty of the country.

According to him, most of those flying the flags are children who are being sponsored, describing the action as crossing the red line.

Already, security agencies have arrested some suspects for mass-producing the flag. The Department of State Service (DSS) said it has also nabbed their sponsors in Kano.
