Nigerian Students Give DSS Till Monday To Free RevolutionNow Activists In Detention Or Face Mass Action | Sahara Reporters The protesters were arrested around Olaiya area of Osogbo, the state capital on Wednesday. August5thProtest READ MORE:
The National Association of Nigerian Students has given the Department of State Services till Monday, August 10 to release #RevolutionNow protesters arrested in Osun State or face mass action.
The statement reads, “The arrest, brutalization and continuous detention of peaceful protesters is condemnable; We demand the immediate release of Olawale Bakare, Abiodun Sanusi and others held at the Osun SSS facility. We find it disturbing that despite the fact that several international protocols guarantees human rights to protest, successive governments in Nigeria have not done enough in the aspect of respect for these rights.
“These are legitimate issues raised by the RevolutionNow protesters. But, the posture of the Nigerian Government towards issues has shown that they would rather empower/embrace sycophancy than agree with those with dissent because they are not ready to be held accountable which is why there is always a clampdown on protests. But, there must never be a time when we would fail to protest in calling for improved living standard which is evidently lacking.
