BIGPEN Online understands the publisher cum politician was taken into custody early Saturday morning.

An early morning statement by Sowore’s lawyer, Inibehe Effiong reads: “Mr Omoyele Sowore is currently in the custody of the SSS. His phones have been confiscated. This is a panic response from a decayed regime that is so sacred of its own shadow.

“The #RevolutionNow Movement has come to stay and no dictator can stop it.”

According to PREMIUM TIMES, an associate of Sowore also emailed a statement confirming the arrest.

The statement said, “Operatives of the Department of State Services have arrested pro-democracy activist and the convener of #RevolutionNow Protests, Omoyele Sowore.
