“He’s in high spirit and unmoved,” Adeyanju said.
Omoyele, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress in the February election, was arrested in the early hours of Saturday and taken to Abuja by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS).
The arrest followed Sowore’s intention to spearhead nationwide protests against the Federal Government, tagged ‘#RevolutionNow Days of Rage,’ scheduled for Monday, August 5, 2019.
The protests held in some states of the federation, during which security agents clashed with protesters, arresting and tear-gassing some, including journalists.
