#RevolutionNow protesters have spoken of how security operatives harassed and brutalised them during peaceful demonstrations in Abuja on Wednesday.The victim told reporters operatives asked him to prostrate before one of them pulled out a knife while another used a broken bottle to cut off his dreadlocks and shave his hair.
The young man said the security agents harassed him for wearing “brown hair’ since he was not a woman.Another protester with bruises on his back, Damilare Adenola, said he was dehumanised and battered by operatives for participating in the protest to demand better governance from the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.He said: “I was beaten by more than four soldiers and policemen. They slapped me several times and kicked me with boots.
“It is unfortunate that this government does not accommodate civic space. There is no freedom of speech in Nigeria again,” he said.
