Police operatives in Kano and Gombe States have arrested a total of 86 suspects over possession of Russian flags during the ongoing nationwide protests.

In Kano, Commissioner of Police, Salma Dogo, said 76 people were arrested in connection with 25 Russian flags recently held by protesters in various parts of the state.

He added that a Nigerien national believed to be responsible for sewing the Russian flags was among those arrested.

“The suspects were found with 25 Russian flags and their arrest has been linked to a case of sedition,”

“The suspects were apprehended at different locations across the metropolis and have been transferred to Abuja for further investigation,” he said.

Dogo urged residents to support the efforts of security personnel by providing information that could aid the quest to apprehend those involved in the recent mass looting of public assets.

He assured the public that the police and other security agencies would maintain a visible presence in and around the metropolis to ensure law and order.

Dogo appealed to parents to monitor their children’s conduct and behaviour, warning that anyone found fomenting trouble would be arrested and prosecuted.

In the same vein Gombe Police Commissioner Hayatu Usman told journalists that 10 protesters were arrested in the state for displaying Russian flags during their protests.

Usman stated that protesters’ act disrespected the national symbol and they have, by that action, committed treasonable felony and other related offences.

“On Monday, we saw the unsettling display of foreign(Russian) flags by some protesters.

“This act not only disrespects our national symbols, but also commits treasonable felony.

“So far, 10 suspects been arrested flying Russian flags,” he said.

He added that the total number of suspects in police custody over violent protests in the state had risen to 111.

Giving a breakdown, he said that nine persons were detained for their involvement in violent protests and attacks on policemen, while 92 suspects have been picked over alleged vandalism and looting of public and private property.

He stated that so far, no loss of life had been recorded since the commencement of the protest in Gombe State.

Abdullahi urged members of the public to go about their lawful businesses while assuring them of the command’s commitment to maintain peace and order while protecting lives and property.

“We are committed to a measured response; we want to ensure that the rights of peaceful protesters are respected while addressing those who engage in violence or unlawful activities,” he said.
