The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, has been reportedly arrested by men of the Department of State Services, DSS.
Sowore, the convener of #RevolutionNow Protests, was said to have been picked up at his apartment in the early hours of Saturday.
The politician and publisher of SaharaReporters posted a distress tweet at exactly 1:25 am which reads, “DSS invades Sowore’s.”
Later he added another tweet which could be a confirmation that his phone must have been seized while trying to raise the alarm about his arrest.
Sowore’s arrest may not be unconnected with his recent parley with the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
