Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has spoken against the arrest of the publisher of SaharaReporters, Omoyele Sowore, calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure his immediate release.
Sowore, a former presidential candidate, was arrested early Saturday by security operatives suspected to be from the Department of State Security (DSS). The arrest is believed to be connected to the #RevolutionNow protests which is set to commence nationwide on August 5.
Kanu took to twitter to express his displeasure;
“Fulani tyranny & primitive dictatorship will never win this war against the massed ranks of oppressed people in Nigeria.”
“Suppressing the right to protest in a so-called democracy will only hasten the collapse of that ZOO.”
#FreeSowore & allow the #RevolutionNow right to protest.”
Kanu fired on Twitter.
