The RevolutionNow march billed to commence today has kicked off in Lagos State.

This is despite the presence of combined security operatives staged at the entrance of the National Stadium in the state.

One of the leading figure of the protesters, Omoyele Sowore, who publishes Sahara Reporters, was picked up on Saturday by the State Security Services (SSS) in Lagos.

The police had described the planned action as an act of terrorism, promising to deal with anyone caught participating in the protest.

But at the demonstration began, instead of arresting the protesters as it earlier vowed to do, men of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) where pleading with the demonstrators to shelve the action.

Moments later, the plea ended and gunshots began alongside teargas to disperse the protesters.

Speculations in some quarters has it that Mr Sowore who has been transferred to Abuja will be charged for treason, although this has not been independently verified by TODAY POLITICS as at press time.

Below are some photos of the demonstration going on in Lagos State.

A wise man once said "Buhari is a mad man!"

Pity those Nigerians that will put their lives on line for someone's political ambition. What I know in this country is protest or no protest the Government will do what they want and the only thing the protesters can do is waste their lives for someone who cannot even keep his own wicked uncle on protesting front.
