The Department of State Services, DSS, has moved detained convener of the planned “#RevolutionNow: Days of Rage” protest, Omoyele Sowore from Lagos to Abuja.

The Cable Newspapers quoted a source at the DSS as saying Sowore, who has been held incommunicado since Saturday, is currently being detained in Abuja.

Although the secret police is yet to make any comment on his arrest, it is believed that Sowore, who was arrested in the early hours of Saturday, was picked up in connection with the nationwide protest which is scheduled to hold on August 5.
After his arrest, Sowore was taken to the Lagos head office of the secret police on CMD Road, Magodo, Ikosi, Ketu.

Tope Akinyode, one of Sowore’s lawyers, had said he visited the head office of the command in Lagos, but was denied access to the activist.

“As Lawyer to Mr. Omoyele Sowore, Publisher of Sahara Reporters, I visited the DSS office at CMD Road, Ketu, Lagos together with other notable Nigerians. Mr. Sowore had been arrested in a ‘gestapo’ manner in the early hours of today.

“When we got to the DSS office, we were denied entrance into the Police Building arrogantly. As much as I persuaded them that the ‘accused’ has lawful right of access to his Lawyer as enshrined under Section 35 (2) of the 1999 Constitution, my advice fell on the deaf ears of the Police Officers who claimed that their boss wasn’t around and I have to wait till Monday (working day) before I could be let in,” he had said in a statement.

The Coalition for Revolution, campaigners of the #RevolutionNow, meanwhile has vowed to go on with the protest despite the arrest of the convener of the movement.
