This arrest comes amid widespread #EndBadGovernance demonstrations across the country, where protesters were seen waving Russian flags.
Police authorities in Kano cracked down on Ahmed and several youths using the flag as a symbol during their protests. The arrest, which took place on Monday, August 5, saw Ahmed taken into custody for interrogation.
The incident has sparked discussions on the implications of foreign symbols being used in local protests. Ahmed was reportedly in possession of multiple Russian flags at the time of his arrest, raising concerns about the motivations and potential influences behind the protests.
