Revolution: DSS Arrests Omoyele Sowore by Optional09: 3:38am On Aug 03, 2019
Information reaching me tonight that the Nigerians DSS invaded Omoyele Sowore apartment in Ikeja and whisk him away to their office in Magodo in Ikeja Lagos.

Fellow Nigerians, We must immediately start the Revolution with the demand of Omoyele’s release if we keep quiet we will all be killed one by one regardless of your affiliations or your smartness. We should all resist oppression in the interest of the next generation. Let’s demand Omoyele’s release now! #RevolutionNow


Operatives of the Department of State Services have arrested pro-democracy activist and the convener of #RevolutionNow Protests, Omoyele Sowore.

It was gathered that Sowore was picked up at his apartment in the early hours of Saturday.

Sowore posted a distress tweet at exactly 1:25 am with an eyewitness confirming that his phone was forcefully taken from him.

The tweet read, " DSS invades Sowore's".

He also tweeted " Ja p", confirming his phone must have been seized while trying to raise the alarm about his arrest.

His arrest and detention are not unconnected to #RevolutionNow, a series of planned protests against bad governance in Nigeria scheduled for August 5, 2019.

How I wish this is not true. There used to be a time when newspapers printers had to move from one house to the other, hiding from Police.

We are in 2019 in the age of digital print and this people still think they can silence everyone.

But Igbos already said they won’t join in the uprising since it’s not being led by an Igbo.

ARREST OF OMOYELE SOWORE: THE REVOLUTION SHALL NOT BE STOPPED!!!

Comrades of #RevolutionNow

The National Action Committee of #RevolutionNow August 05 "Days of Rage" protest has confirmed that Omoyele Sowore, AAC National Chairman, and member of the Coalition for Revolution (CORE), has been arrested and taken away by the Department of State Security (DSS) to an unknown destination.

We are working to get more information concerning this development and to organise legal intervention to secure his immediate release. We shall provide information on further developments as it becomes available.

Sowore's arrest attests to the validity of our struggle to liberate Nigeria from the shackles of a ruling class that aims to keep NIgeria's working people under perpetual oppression. For sixty years they have kept Nigerians enslaved under their incompetent, corrupt, and irresponsible rule. Now, we the people have had enough and are ready to take back our country, to take back the political power and national wealth that rightly belong to us.

The arrest of Sowore is definite and clear evidence that they are afraid of #RevolutionNow.

This is why we must intensify our preparation. Get the word out to as many people as you can. Mobilise on your street, your campus, workplace, marketplace, bus stop, everywhere. The battle has begun. Let the mighty people of Nigeria stand for liberty and justice in this country.

They have arrested Sowore, but they cannot break our will for freedom from their oppression.

We shall not be intimidated; neither shall we be moved. We shall go ahead with our protest on August 5. We shall come out in our droves!

In unity and with one mighty voice, we shall tell the oppressor class:
"This is our country!"
"This is our land!"
"We reject you and your policies!"
"Pack your load and go!"

Victory is certain, because a people united can never be defeated. So let us come out in our Days of Rage, starting August 5.

#RevolutionNow! #ThrowDemOut!!

National Action Committee

If this is true, then I would say sowore himself would be a fool if he wasn't expecting this.
I believe it's a good development and I hope his sacrifice won't be in vain.

On the other hand, are all those advising Buhari dead? Have all workers of iniquities no knowledge?

So,
If this is true, good!
If this isn't true, good!

Sowore definitely would have seen it coming. What gives activists power is the arrests and imprisonments. It is the fuel that every revolution need to get the fire started.

Will u people stop speaking grammar & move to action?
I would have expected the group to hit the streets of Nigeria with utmost alacrity even this morning & not wait till the said August 5th
And demand for the immediate & unconditional release of Comrade Omoyele Sowore
All this grammar is not talking us anywhere, it has never taken us somewhere in the past, & neither will it take us anywhere now
And besides, the government of the day is dictatorial & does not hear nor understands grammar, but only actions
