VIDEO: Police square up against #RevolutionNow protesters

A team of policemen and soldiers have, Monday, dispersed some members of the RevolutionNow movement who had converged on the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos.

While some members, as seen in the video (below), shot by VANGUARD, seem to be going about their protest hitch-free, other protesters met with stiff resistance from the team of security operatives.

The protesters chanted solidarity songs and called for the release of Omoyele Sowore, the convener of the movement. But the team of security operatives shot teargas at the protesters who had arrived the protest venue around 7am.

Sowore was arrested and whisked away by the Department of States Services (DSS) over the planned nationwide protest. He was later moved from DSS facility in LAgos to Abuja.

The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the February 23 Presidential election, was planning a series of protests, under the aegis of #RevolutionNow against bad governance in the country, as a result of which he was arrested by operatives of the DSS.
