However, in a post on his X handle on Tuesday, Sowore described the position of the military as diversionary, saying it’s to make Nigerians forget the reason for the protest.
He said:
“There is no crime flying Russian flags during protests, it is not TREASON. Christian leaders fly Israeli flags in churches, and lots of people fly Palestinian flags in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle.
“This is completely diversionary so that Nigerians would forget the reason there is an #EndBadGovernancelnNigeria revolt against the @officialABAT regime.
“You’re all acting like you care about the Nigerian flag, if so why did you ask the same @HQNigerianArmy to murder young Nigerians waving flags and singing national anthem during the #EndSARS uprising in 2020? Bunch of liars! #RevolutionNow.”
