Omoyele Sowore, the publisher of the news website, SaharaReporters have been arrested by Security agents believed to be personnel of the State Security Service (SSS).

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.

“He also tweeted ” Ja p”, confirming his phone must have been seized while trying to raise the alarm about his arrest.
