Brigadier General, Jonathan Temlong, has said the flag being displayed by rioters in Abuja, Kano is not the Nigerian Armed Forces Flag but a Russian flag.
Temlong, who was the pioneer commander of the Multinational Jointed Taskforce, disclosed this in an Interview with newsmen.
His comment comes as rioters were arrested in Abuja and Kano for displaying the Russian flag amid the ongoing hunger protests which had lasted for 5 days.
This had spurred claims on Social Media that Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, planned to take over the government from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
However, Temlong clarified that is not Nigeria’s Armed Forces flag that was displayed by rioters.
