The Department of State Services has taken human rights activist and pro-democracy campaigner, Omoyele Sowore, to Abuja.

According to SaharReporters, sources at the DSS said Sowore, who has been held incommunicado since Saturday when he was arrested and detained, is in a high-security detention facility of the service in Abuja.

Although the secret police is yet to make any comment on his arrest, it is believed to be in connection with the nationwide protest that he was organising.

WuzupNaija reports that the Police had described the planned ‘Revolution Now’ protests being convened by Sowore as treasonable and acts of terrorism.

The African Action Congress (AAC) and its presidential candidate Sowore had declared August 5 as the commencement date of the revolution protests tagged ‘Days of Rage’ across the country to demand a better Nigeria.

The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, in a statement released on the Force’s verified Twitter handle @PoliceNG warned the proponents of the protest that the police will not stand idly by and watch any individual or group in the society cause anarchy in the land.

Adamu advised parents not to allow their children to be used in whatever form to cause a breach of law and order in the country.
