The Police have sealed off the venue of an event where Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka; and human rights activist/Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, had been billed to speak.

The symposium, tagged, ‘Democracy, State Repression and the State of Insecurity in Nigeria,’ had been scheduled to hold at 46, Ibijoke Street, Oluyole bus-stop, Oregun, Lagos.

A tweet via a Twitter handle Revolutionary Towolawi Jamiu @jharmo, showed that the symposium was organised by the Coalition for Revolution, CORE.

The organisers said it was scheduled to be, “A working consultative assembly of activists and organisations against the draconian development and the detention of scores of activists in the DSS detention cells.”

It has hashtags, #FreeSoworeNow and #RevolutionNow.

The event’s flier also contained a coterie of demands from the Federal Government.

Such demands include: “economy for all,” “total system change,” “rationalisation of power sector and the probe of its privatisation,” among others.

But what is wrong with Buhari self ,using security agencies maltreated Nigerians all the time. People are complaining that your time is bad omens and you can't give yourself brain and think how you can make things easier to your people. Note that your 4years will go but your did would be documented. This old fool don't have human feelings at all.

Buhari a self acclaimed "born again Democrat" doing his favourite job to his regular customers of the West.

When Tinubu was deceiving all these guys in 2014 they all pretended as if GEJ was the Devil.

Now look at.....!

Imagine! Now they are going to have a peaceful dialogue, the police will still not let Nigerian citizens exercise their right to peaceful assembly! Why won't Nigerians attack them in foreign countries? Suddenly, the word 'revolution' automatically means war even within an enclosed building. I hope useless supporters can see their 'reformed democrat' at work! Na like this una for wan use vote am out as e no perform?

Re: PHOTOS: Police Barricade Venue Where Soyinka, Falana Were to Speak On Insecurity by Nobody: 1:00pm On Aug 19, 2019
With the rate of proscribing groups,
unleashing military on groups,
Disobedience to court judgements,
Loyal servants in the Assembly,
Yes men in the Judiciary,
Military/police unleash on civilians,
Detention and lock up of activists,
Arm full of media propagandist...

Your fear should not be now, but 2023 when they tell you zoning is not constitutional, neither can 3rd term not be passed to law.

What sort of nonsense is this.?

It pains me so much that I'm alive and this rubbish is happening.

If not that Nigerians are too docile, this wouldn't be happening. The police succeeded in quenching the #revolutionprotest and everything appeared cool.

Now they are out to even seal off venues of meetings that discuss national issues.

Thunder!!!!!! You know where to go. Oya start striking

Whatever you don't sweat for, you won't appreciate.

The characters in power are serial beneficiaries .. They were busy encouraging Abacha to hold on to power and now they are sitting comfortably enjoying other people's struggle.

Talk about leopard not changing its spot ...

But at least Buhari is better than Nnamdi Kanu.

Even though Buhari steps on our skulls and kill us with poverty, I rather choose him over that Nnamdi Kanu that wants to separate us from the Kaphilate - Yoloba moozlems cheesy
