Operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, on Saturday morning, arrested the convener of #RevolutionNow Protests, Omoyele Sowore.
Sowore, a presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, was picked up at his apartment in the early hours of Saturday.
He posted a distress tweet at exactly 1:25 am with an eyewitness confirming that his phone was forcefully taken from him.
The tweet read, ” DSS invades Sowore’s”.
He also tweeted ” Ja p”, confirming his phone must have been seized while trying to raise the alarm about his arrest.
His arrest and detention are not unconnected to #RevolutionNow, a series of planned protests against bad governance in Nigeria scheduled for August 5, 2019.
