Members of the RevolutionNow movement who converged on the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos, on Monday, were forcefully dispersed by soldiers and policemen.

The protesters, who arrived at the stadium around 7am on Monday, for the kick-off of the protest met a detachment of policemen at the entrance of the stadium.

Some soldiers later joined the policemen.

Eliaz Ozikpu, one of the protesters told TheCable, that he was discussing the protest plans with others when security operatives crossed over the road to meet them.

“We were standing here, while they watched us from the other side. Suddenly, they moved on us and said we can’t talk to the press. We weren’t even talking to the press yet. We were addressing ourselves,” he said.

The protesters, however, started chanting calling for the release of Omoyele Sowore, convener of the movement who was arrested Saturday by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS).

Using police and army to stop a peaceful protest in a democratically elected govt is what I call treasonable felony! Buhari has committed another coup on Nigerians.

What is a democracy when our civic and fundamental rights are being trampled on in a country !

If only Nigerians can make history for once and become united like they become in football when playing other nations, then this country can at least have hope

Otherwise, you will see cowards here flooding the comments out of disunity and ignorance in their infinite wisdom and hate

No one remembers those who died in the 2012 protest that we even thought of being legit.
This protest is a sham. Stay in your home or stay at work and be productive
