Addressing a Press conference in Abuja , spokesman of the DSS, Mr. Peter Afunanya, said Sowore was arrested because “he called for a revolution in Nigeria.”
Afunanya added that DSS was “aware of information that Sowore had been in touch with foreign actors to destabilise Nigeria.”
Sowore, the convener of #RevolutionNow protests which he intended to hold across the country on Monday, August 5, in protest against alleged bad governance, was arrested at his apartment at 1.25am on Saturday.
