Sani’s tweet stated, “Someone hiding somewhere must have shared the Russian flags to the Kano protesters to raise, perhaps without them knowing what it is or it’s meant.” This remark implies that the protesters might have been unaware of the significance of the flags they were displaying, raising questions about the motives behind this act.
The presence of Russian flags at the protest has stirred controversy, with many speculating about the intent behind such a move. Some believe it could be an attempt to associate the protest with foreign interests, potentially undermining its legitimacy. Others suggest it might be a deliberate act to provoke a reaction or distract from the core issues being protested.
