Publisher of Sahara Reporters, former presidential candidate and the convener of #RevolutionNow protest, Mr Omoyele Sowore, has said that “the revolution” will happen in Nigeria whether the government likes it or not.
Sowore who narrated his experience in detention said he has been held out of touch with the real outside world. That is solitary confinement.
In his words, “I haven’t been in touch with my lawyers. I don’t know the charges they are bringing against me. I am not allowed to see sunshine. I’ve not been outside except today. I am happy people are staying strong.
I have no doubt this will come to an end in favour of the Nigerian people. Whether you like it or not, the revolution will happen. It is only a matter of time.”
Sowore also complained that his shoulder was injured by the Department of State Services (DSS) operatives who arrested him in Lagos on August 3.
“I have a bad shoulder which they broke during my arrest. They gave me no access to telephone. No TV. No newspapers. Nothing.
What is interesting is that Boko Haram commanders who are engaged in high level terrorism have access to telephone, TV and even cable in their cells.
So you wonder which one is better: “a freedom fighter or a terrorist.”
