Despite the arrest of its lead convener, OMOYELE SOWORE, by operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, on Saturday, human rights activists, who are also part of the #RevolutionNow protest scheduled for about 25 states today, have promised to go ahead with the exercise.
The rights activists, under the Conveners of Free Nigeria Movement (FNM) and Coalition in Defence of Nigeria’s Democracy and Constitution (CDNDC), led by RAPHAEL ADEBAYO and DARE-ARIYO ATOYE, said they would mobilise hundreds of most frustrated Nigerians to occupy the streets of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
But police authorities in Abuja have warned those planning the protest to stop the exercise, saying it amounted to inciting Nigerians against the Federal Government with the aim of forcing a regime change.
