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.
Eliaz Ozikpu, one of the protesters told TheCable, 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).
