The Department of State Services (DSS) says it arrested Omoyele Sowore, ex-presidential candidate, because he threatened the public peace and safety with his planned protest.

In the middle of the night Saturday, agents of the service invaded Sowore’s residence and took him into custody. Before his arrest, he was promoting a protest tagged ‘#RevolutionNow’.

Speaking with journalists on Sunday, Peter Afunaya, DSS spokesman, said Sowore crossed the red-line by calling for a revolution, noting that the secret police would “not just sit idly and watch any individual, group and their cohorts rise and threaten the peace, unity, and constitutionalism of the country’’.

“Though there is apprehension and anxiety among citizens already, we wish to assure friends of Nigeria, and other law-abiding citizens, that there will be no revolution of any kind come Monday, August 5, 2019,” he said.

“A democratically elected government is in charge, and we cannot allow any person or group to foment chaos or fan the ember of revolution.”

Some Nigerians, including Atiku Abubakar, Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka have spoken against the arrest of Sowore.

I think Sowore went too far with the tag of the protest "REVOLUTION NOW"
REVOLUTION - a forcible overthrow of a government or social order, in favour of a new system (Dictionary Definition)
I believe Sowore should know better that this because No Government in the World will allow such things to happen under his own watch. Including those supporting and sponsoring him.

I don't think the constitution permit this kind of protest but a peaceful protest.

I always ask one question
IF PETER OBI BECOME THE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA TODAY, CAN HE TRULY SUPPORT NNAMDI KANU FOR BIAFRA REPLUBLIC?

Sowore still has the mentality and temperament of a student union leader. Sad to say that this is a man that was aspiring to be President of a Country.
