Adeyanju, Others Lead One Million Man #Free Sowore Now Protest, Today

The Convener of pro-democracy and good governance group, Concerned Nigerians, Deji Adeyanju; Ariyo Dare Atoye of Concerned Nigerians, Coalition in Defence of Nigerian Democracy and Constitution, and Adebayo Raphael of Free Nigeria Movement, alongside several other comrades, have said that the groups are set to stage a one-million man protest today, to demand the unconditional release of the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2019 general elections, Mr. Omoyele Sowore.
They said that the protest is equally aimed at demanding the unconditional release of those they described as prisoners of conscience such as Jones Abiri, Steven Kefas, Dadiyata and others.
It would be recalled that while Jones Abiri, Steven Kefas and Dadiyata have variously been detained and are still in detentions till date, Sowore was arrested by the operatives of the Department of States Services (DSS) in his hotel room in Lagos.
Sowore was arrested over his call for nationwide revolutionary protest tagged, #RevolutionNow, against alleged maladministration by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government.
The protest held in various parts of the country despite his arrest, although not without stiff resistance from security agencies, with some of the protesters arrested and subsequently arraigned in Lagos.
