Nothing could be more daft! Of all the actions to take against a constitutionally and legally backed protest, the last should be an arrest of the convener. #FreeSowore

This is the aftermath of what the armed DSS did to the convener of the #RevolutionNow movement @YeleSowore Car during his arrest overnight. When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes a duty. #RevolutionNow #FreeSowore pic.twitter.com/h4AnTYoeh6

Our democracy is a block of ice floating on warm waters.The sponsored protest and attacks on the @AmnestyNigeria stands condemned.The arrest & detention of @YeleSowore is needless.I join the call for his release #FreeSowore.

Does Buhari think Sowore is not aware the arrest would happen. If not he would have slept in a more secure place. This is a trap and I'm happy Buhari fell into it cluelessly.

Buhari finally used his cluelessness to activate #RevolutionNow protest.#FreeSowore #FreeSoworeNow pic.twitter.com/OuHDKX9I1y

If news report of DSS picking up @YeleSowore is confirmed then those behind his arrest sure did not learn from the past, he just had you were he wants you to be. Now we won't know if #RevolutionNow would have really taken over Nigerian government on Monday. It's now #FreeSowore

Sowore has been arrested by the DSS for organizing a protest against bad governance.

Nigeria is now under a military-style dictatorship under a system that pretends to be democracy.#FreeSowore
