RevolutionNow: Police ‘Violently’ Arrest Journalist Covering Protest In Lagos [Video]

Activists have defied the Federal Government order banning them from holding the #RevolutionNow protest called by the publisher of Sahara Reporters, Mr. Omoyele Sowore.

#RevolutionNow protest took place on Monday (today), August 5, 2019, outside the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos State.

The protest which was meant to be a ‘peaceful protest’ against the rising spate of Insecurity and problems in the country, erupted into Chaos as Police Officers released gunshots and teargas at the protesters.
