The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) is seeking the intervention of the United Nations over the detention of the convener of #RevolutionNow movement, OMOYELE SOWORE, and four others.

In a statement issued by its deputy director, KOLAWOLE OLUWADARE, the group said it has sent an urgent complaint to the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention over what it called "arbitrary detention and other ill-treatment" SOWORE and the other whom it said were activists for peacefully exercising their human rights.

This comes a day after a Magistrate Court in Abuja ordered their remands at the Kuje Correctional Centre in the nation's capital pending when their formal bail application would be heard today.

They were arraigned by the Federal Government on three charges of criminal conspiracy, unlawful assembly, and an attempt to incite others.
