The Presidency has justified the re-arrest of the convener of the #RevolutionNow protests, Omoyele Sowore saying he constitute a threat to national security.
Â
It also likened Sowore to the Boko Haram insurgents that are fighting to Islamise the country in the North-East.
Â
The Presidency in a statement by Garba Shehu, said that Sowore’s antecedents and actions ordinarily made him a person of interest to the DSS.
Â
According to him, the DSS does not need the permission of President Buhari to do its work whenever necessary adding so far it had acted within its constitutional powers.
Â
Speaking on a monitored programme, National President, International Human Rights and Development Center, Joshua Alobo said the incident has portrayed Buhari government in bad light.
 Â
In a swift reaction, Presidential Spokesman, Femi Adesina said the video being circulated on the incident is doctored.
