Police on Thursday arrested about 30 #RevolutionNow protesters in Lagos after they took to the streets to express their displeasure against bad governance in the country, Igbere TV reports.

In Lagos, the protesters marched from the streets of Ojota to Maryland, chanting songs of solidarity.

In Osogbo, Osun State capital, security operatives dispersed protesters who converged at Nelson Mandela Park, Old Garage around 9 am.

Despite the clampdown, the protesters regrouped at Oke-Fia junction and later marched through Old Garage, Orisunbare and Ola-Iya junction, chanting anti-government songs and distributing flyers stating reasons for their agitations.

Igbere TV reports that the Coalition for Revolution codenamed #RevolutionNow had urged President Muhammadu Buhari in a statement before the protest to resign.

The group is led by a former presidential candidate and publisher Omoyele Sowore.

“The Coalition for Revolution is calling on all Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora to come out en masse on, October 1, and participate in a massive peaceful protest to demand the reversal of anti-people policies implemented by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration,” the group had said.

Zoo @60

E don be ,one of buhaha achievements for his fans

Why's Sowore not leading the protest in any of the state or has he turned the next Nnamdi kanu

They only show their powers against innocents and peaceful protesters....

They can't do anything about the bandits who kept on terrorizing our rural areas!

so peaceful protest is now an offence..

Zoo @60 indeed

Zoo @60

Honestly, a zoo has security, law and order. This shithole@60 has none of it.

protest will solve nothing.

I didn't see 30 people being arrested

All Nigerians , irrespective of religious affiliations or ethnic groups , must rise to demand for true federalism. This country is heading to a dungeon , there is no respite or solution in sight.

If I have power, I will break this county into three

Later they will say police is our friend. Enemy of progress

We were expecting that anyway.

Nawa

Those mothafuckas wanna try that shit with us, but thank God, we never came with holy bibles, we came with broken bottles!

What should I revolt for ?
A failed system that celebrates nonsense ?
We deserve the leaders we get.
As much as i would then try to get your attention,,
There's no need to protest.
Is sowore proferring solutions or is he probably after his own agenda.
Strike came.. We swerved.
Now you wanna protest..

It's because the hardship is not affecting them. Stop them from collecting 100-200 naira bribes at check points and watch them join the revolution. Lol

Most unresolved murders or death cases are politics-related ones

God forbid I die for Naija

I just dey try hustling small, gather money & then japa

The best I can do for Naija is helping friends & family get relieved from poverty

Nawaoh

Oburu na izutabeghi Ala na Ala igbo, Nwanne odikwa risky makana Ala ga agara oke onu na mgbe na adighi Anya dika ndi Igbo no na mba di iche iche ga ebido lata ba na Ala Igbo iji wee zuba ahia ma mebe kwa investment.

Protesting against bad governance in this present day Nigeria, should be added to 1000 ways to DIE.

Its just like attempting SUICIDE.

It's coming little by little

We ain't surprise.butality has bn d oder of d day

Well...such is life
Check my signature. Swift payment

welcome to Nigeria

In a city of millions only about 30 people came out. SMH
Una never see anything. The suffering must continue

Say no to police brutality!

Let a peaceful protest be peaceful.

Brutality under colonial rule and brutality under self rule are we really Independent?

This country is finished
Nothing remain
Complete zoo
Protest under a democratic system is now unlawful

Just wow, #speechless

Just focus on ur hustle...d country has failed us!
