Ondo Monarch to Buhari: Release Sowore now
The Kalasewe of Apoi land in Ilaje local government area of Ondo state, on Friday pleaded with the Federal Government to release the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress Omoyele Sowore without delay.
The publisher of SaharaReporters and convener Global Coalition for Security and Democracy in Nigeria was arrested by the operatives of the Department of State Services over a planned protest tagged’ #revolutionaryNow’ scheduled for Monday, August 5, 2019 and subsequently accused of a plot to force a regime change in the country.
Kalasuwe , who faulted the rationale behind the arrest, said it was unfortunate that Nigerians usually forgot events and memories of the past.He said Nigeria’s problems emanated from the military’s dictatorship and tendency to gag the press and prevent freedom of speech and expression. The monarch said Nigerians were entitled to express their feelings, provided the protest was peaceful and violent-free and it also represented the feelings of Nigerians.
