Security agents in Abuja have
arrested about 60 #RevolutionNow protesters in Abuja.
The protesters who were coming
from Mararaba axis of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) were arrested around the
Unity Fountain and whisked away in police trucks.
Security agents have begun stop
and search operations at some locations in the city to identify and arrest
protesters.
The conveners of the protest on
Tuesday announced details of the mass action, including convergence points in
10 different states across the nation.
Omoyele Sowore, an activist, is
the convener of the #RevolutionNow protest which he birthed in 2019.
Sowore had called for the
demonstration against “bad governance and corruption” in the Buhari
administration.
But he is not participating in
the protest owing to a court order preventing him from joining mass gatherings
— a part of his bail condition after he had spent over 130 days in detention.
