THE RUŞŠIAN FLĂG AND KÀNO PRŐTEŠTERŚ: COULD THAT BE THE REASON?

"Nīgeria’s relations with Ru§sia just like the rest of Africa began during the S0viet era when diplomatic relations were first established in 1960. That relationship covered areas such as education, healthcare, solid minerals development and milįtary assistance, especially during Nīgeria’s civil war."

"More recently, our partnership has extended to the oil and gas sector as well as military and technical assistance in support of our fight against B0kő Háràm insurgency. At this point, I would once again like to thank His Excellency, President Půtin for his support, especially in the area of sècurity.

"It is my hope that through this forum, Rus§ia and Afrįca will revitalize their time-tested relationship by exploring new opportunities for the collective benefit of our peoples.”

This was said by President Műhammèdu Bůhari according to the PM News on October 24, 2019.

Could the relationship being referred to by the former president be the reason for flying the Ru§sian flag during the protest in Kano?
