Police Dares Nigerians To Embark On ‘RevolutionNow’ March
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has warned Nigerians to steer clear of a revolution nationwide march billed to commence on Monday.
The force while issuing the warning in a statement it released on Saturday, described the yet-to-begin peaceful assembly as a treasonable felony.
The
march championed by opposition leader, Omoyele Sowore, who publishes
Sahara Reporters, seeks to draw attention to the various alleged
misgovernance bedeviling the nation.
Mr Sowore was picked up by
operatives of the State Security Services (SSS) early Saturday morning.
He is still been detained as at press time with the organisers of the
planned march vowing to take to the street to demonstrate.
Warning parents and guardians to caution their wards against participating, the Police vowed to deal ruthlessly with anyone found on the street with revolution tags.
