Men of the Department of State Security Service have reportedly arrested founder of Sahara Reporters and former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Mr. Omoyele Sowore.
Unconfirmed report said that the heavily mobilized men of the DSS invaded his hotel apartment in Ikeja and taken him to their office at CMD road, Magodo, as at the time of filing this report.
Sowore’s alleged arrest occurred about 48 hours into the commencement of a planned revolutionary showdown on August 5th, 2019 across the country.
Meanwhile, barely 72 hours into a highly publicized students’ event on the campus, Management of University of Lagos (UNILAG) ordered its organizers to delist him as speaker at the event, it has been learnt.
Mr. Sowore, reports said, was to headline the 2nd August, 2019 event convened by the UNILAG Chapter of the Muslim Students Society (MSS).
Many students and admirers of Mr. Sowore had publicized the events and were brazing to attend.
But a “regrettable correspondence” from the organizers, had announced reversal of his invitation.
It was learned that UNILAG Management feared that Mr. Sowore’s presence on campus and his speech might instigate the students to rise up in protests against most of Management’s unfair policies, and had decided to immediately intercept his planned presence.
