In response to ongoing pockets of unrest across the country, the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, convened a joint security meeting with service chiefs, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), and heads of other security agencies.
The meeting aimed to address the recent protests and urge peace among citizens. The security heads strongly condemned the waving of a foreign flag in some states, emphasizing the importance of respecting Nigeria’s sovereignty and democracy.
In a related development, the Russian Embassy in Nigeria issued a statement on Monday, dissociating itself from the flag-waving incident. The embassy reaffirmed its respect for Nigeria’s democratic processes and institutions.
The security agencies are working together to maintain law and order, while also addressing the underlying grievances of the protesters. The meeting underscored the need for peaceful coexistence and dialogue in resolving the country’s challenges.
