Sowore Speaks on #RevolutionNow From DSS Detention

Omoyele Sowore, a Nigerian activist and presidential candidate of AAC in the last Nigeria presidential election arrested on Saturday, has spoken from detention.

According to Sahara Reporters, his media platform, Mr Sowore maintained a spirit of defiance when associates visited him in the custody of the State Security Service on Monday evening, two days after his arrest.

“I am pleased that the peaceful #RevolutionNow protests went ahead,” Mr Sowore told members of the ‘Take It Back’, one of the numerous social platforms he has been using to champion the course for a better Nigeria.

Sowore was arrested at 1:00 a.m. on Saturday.

Many Nigerians have condemned the arrest which DSS claimed it made as a result of Sowore calling for a revolution.

Among those who condemned their action is Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, PDP candidate in the past presidential election, Atiku Abubakar and many others 

Sowore's online journal, The Sahara Reporters released a video showing how the DSS operatives forcefully took him away from his apartment on Saturday night.

Presidency condemned those who supported Sowore, calling them balckmailers
