SSS Confirms Arrest of Tailors Sewing Russian Flags for #Endbadgovernance Protesters in Kano State
The State Security Service (SSS) has confirmed the arrest of some tailors responsible for sewing Russian flags for #Endbadgovernance protesters in Kano State. According to a statement issued by the SSS spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, the tailors were arrested for their involvement in the production and distribution of the Russian flags during the protests.
The #Endbadgovernance protest, which has been ongoing in various parts of the country, has seen protesters hoisting Russian flags during processions. The incident has sparked concern about the motives of the protesters, with many questioning the significance of the Russian flags.
In a statement, Afunanya said that some of the sponsors of the tailors have also been arrested and are currently undergoing interrogation. He added that the investigation is ongoing to determine the extent of the involvement of the tailors and their sponsors in the protests.
Meanwhile, the SSS has denied arresting one of the promoters of the #endbadgovernance protest, Adaramoye Michael, also known as Michael Lenin. According to Afunanya, Michael Lenin is not in the custody of the SSS.
The activist was reportedly picked up at his residence in Abuja around 2: a.m. on Monday. However, the SSS has denied any involvement in his arrest, stating that he is not in their custody.
The development has sparked widespread reactions on social media, with many calling for clarity on the motives of the protesters and the significance of the Russian flags. The SSS has been accused of using the arrests as a means of intimidation and silencing dissenting voices.
As the investigation continues, it remains to be seen what further developments will emerge in this saga. One thing is certain, however – the #Endbadgovernance protest has sparked a national conversation about the state of governance in the country and the role of the SSS in maintaining law and order.
