He has been made more popular
Why the arrest, we the acknowledge youth and lovers loyal to Buhari and BAT are ready to disgrace him and AbdulKareem Idris including their allies.
Lesson 1, if u want to b patrotic wherever ypu find yourself, do not support evil in any form because you wll b haunted by the same evil. Think back to 2015.
Arrant nonsense
FACT CHECK! NIGERIA: ABDUCTION, SECRET ASSASSINATION, SECRET MASS BURIAL ARE SIGNATURE OF BUHARI GOV'T
Sowore is good for nothing, Pls of what use is someone who want to burn down Nigeria. God will arrest you sowore
Why was he arrested ?
Can anyone stop the sun from rising?
Revolution is the best solution to ending this long years of misrule in governance. We must not leave it for Brave souls like YeleSowore to fight alone. We need millions of Nigerians to join this RevolutionNow on the streets. Buhari can't kill everybody.
Take it or leave it, we are slowly creeping into dictatorship.
release YeleSowore now for the course of peaceful protest at revolutionnowprotest
This headline is embarrassing. I actually rate you guys, you can do better than this.
I used to laugh when I go through people's comment here, they are the one that will be pushing sowore by commenting on his post when he tweet, now they have arrest sowore how many will be on the road to protest for him now. Only Twitter protest
Some people are so deluded and very shallow minded to believe that, the movement is for the betterment of the country, this is for their gain. Imagine someone lost presidential election and all of a sudden came up with the idea 'revolution'. Revolution my foot.
FreeSowore FreeSoworeNow RevolutionNow AsoRock Nigeria Nigerians
This country is something else
FreeSowore
This is really bad and this government is making things more difficult and worse
Hahahaha so easy to give monkey water with a cup but so hard to collect the cup from monkey...inu igbo...if u know you know
Dannyyweb FREE HIM IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID FURTHER PROTEST ,NIGERIANS ARE ANGRY WHY MUST HONEST PEOPLE WHO SPEAK AGAINST BAD GOVERNANCE BE ARRESTED WHILE THE POLITICIANS WHO ARE STEALING OUR COMMON RESOURCES ARE WALKING FREEHOW MANY PEOPLE CAN THE DSS ARREST
Please; this Sahara reporters practice junk journalism or sensationalism or whatever you call it! He should be careful because not everyone takes bull shit!!!
Very good
He wants to be popular. Now he is, just like Kanu Biafraud
This is not good for the reputation of MBuhari . DSS should busy itself stifling iswap of funds and exposing kidnappers dens, not arresting a citizen asking that people in power take up their responsibilities seriously. AsoRock should stop chasing shadows.
He wasnt arrested. He was kidnapped oh
Full blown dictatorship in place ThisIsNotMyNigeria Revolutionnow
He is kidnapped not arrested
PoliceNG arrest him but don't put him in same prison as zakzaky and their likes. Keep him alone
If YeleSowore has done his home work well, his arrest should trigger a more widespread RevolutionNow. But then, He has been on the wrong side for too long without apology. He was a factor in Buhari's emergence 2015 and a spoiler in 2019 when he was a 5th columnist.
Revolution Now is a task that We are in together . We need New Mindset , New System of Governance , New Youth Oriented Policy. Revolution Now is a Task that must be done. OneYouthFreedom4all FreeSowere Revolutionnow
Very Good for him. After Using his propaganda to enthrone Buhari 2015 against Jonathan. He want to use same to enthrone himself. Let him remain there till 2023.
Wetin con concern us ? Relevant to the scheme of things? Abeg I hear agriculture is booming now in Nigeria
I'm amazed at the responses I read here from Nigerians. YeleSowore has no reason to come back and fight for this country yet he did and now arrested. Many Nigerians I know abroad don't even want to step the country again and the person who chose to is taken for granted. Haba!!!
Despotism and tyranny in action. Where are the Yoruba journalists? Oya ooh Wa mbi. FFK, Tinubu, Ooni, Alaafin, speak out
You lost an election (even in your own state), your party indicted you & instead of you 2 prove yourself innocent, you said U want 2 lead a 'madolution'. Terrible nonsense wallahi!
He was angling for this so that he could make the name he never made in canvassing for votes. If I were NGRPresident, I’d slap him with the charges on graffiti & anti-social behaviour and let him serve full time on that alone. That way, no false martyrdom is created. Joker
FreeSoworeNow! Nigeria Is cowgeria where you are bullied for demanding good governance. Everyone in this administration is a failure including Pastor Osibanjo
A very BIG mistake on the part of the government.This move actually helps make Sowore’s case and what he’s been fighting for alll along. Rather than focus on crafting coherent public policies, the government appears to be investing all of her energy in nonsense. Timeisup
He's the man of the reasonable people
This should have happened a long time ago. You can burn down the country under the guise of activism. We are not stupid
Wish him long stay in jail.
Lol..democracy has 2 face..a govt 4 the people & by d people and wher d people say its a enough I think dey hav a right to protest or a say. Dis adminstration is taking a wrong step, criticism makes govt improve and if you dont like it go back 17th century. I stand with Sowore
We're in the end game now Next level activated. This is just the beginning
Nigerians knows better.... GEJ is far far better than Buhari, Buhari is a terror, the beast of no nation, animal in human skin. 1984.... Fela.
Why would they arrest him, oh dictator buhari is at it again, the dictator is afraid of the upcoming national protest, Nigeria is in a serious dictatorship under the jihadist buhari , buhari must go for a better Nigeria.
Ehn ehn.. And so what?.....
S'ebi he went to school. Should have the gravity and consequences na

The arrest of Mr Sowore did not take me by surprise. It is in the character of this tyrannical administration to forcefully put down perceived challenges to its stolen authority. I am watching to see how Nigerians will react to this latest charade.
9ja
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere
He should expect such a thing.If he understand what revolution is .
Useless Sowore. When this country was on the verge of disintegrating they didn't do anything. No someone is putting back together they are trying to course another havoc. It was silence by security agents that allowed El-zakzaky to germinate.
Everybody saw that coming
'You can jail a revolutionist but you can't jail a revolution'' we will continue as planned, September 5th is RevolutionNow segalink DrJoeAbah henryshield
This is great news!!!!! Wish he's kept like El-zakzaky..... Till the end of this tenure... Enjoy the nonsense you created.
He deserves every treatment he's getting from this government you people have forgotten how he used Sahara reporter to peddle lies against Goodluck Jonathan in other to hype APC as Democrats...now the dog have bites it's master..mmmmm what goes around comes around
I think he’s been paid for what he’s doing 🤔
Remmzor_YBNL
Goodluck Jonathan should be drinking cold Campari with Heineken now. Your enemies are receiving their rewards bit by bit
Wrong! They would only aid the toothless bulldog bark audibly. However, his reported link with other enemies of State requires that he answer some questions in the interest of public security, perhaps.
Ehen! Now government is acting well...
Be careful of what monster we creat....one day it will consume us and we will be a victim of our own creation
We warned them! Don't give your sharpened Cutlass to a mad man! They said they were lovers of the country and we were the 'enemies'! Today we watch as the mad man chase them with the same Cutlass they gave him! There's enough to go round!
These guys just made Yele Sowore popular. FreeSowore
Ehix07 purrples fkeyamo Ayeekoto1 cbngov_akin1 I greet una
Don't release that bastard until he learns some sense.
Hmmmnnn it's beginning to get interesting
Ko ni yé ógbènî ti won pé ni Buharig yi
If there are contraventions of the law by Yele, he shd be dealt with as deterrent to others who love money more than Nig.
Na so next level
There is absolutely no need to arrest this man. Our Police have started bungling this one again. What has been the outcome, after all, of the Dino case? Despite all the show off, the man is now a gubernatorial candidate!
he has to burn himself first
he was arrested by who? and busy tweeting?
Folks had absolute freedom to protest and insult Goodluck Jonathan,yet he was maligned and scorned.The corruption & insecurity he supposedly over-saw and the reason given by his haters on why he had to leave is a 100 times worse now Nigeria is clearly at cross-roads now.
Sowore 2023...Nigerian gov't steady making the most predictable dumb mistakes and never learning
O jewa ke eng? Tyranny at its Peak
Which country allows a treasonable felony action of Revolution!!!! What is the difference btw revolution and coup?
'The SSS which is supposed to be actively involved in curtailing insecurity across Nigeria'............ so said YeleSowore's lawyer. The DSS is doing just that. CaseClosed
They want to turn Sowore into another hero by arresting him. Just like MNK. These people dont learn
Great
It's inevitable now. The government can't be violent consistently & expect it's citizens not to retaliate in kind some day.
I was planing to donate 5 liters of fuel and two packet of matches to Sowore but now DSS has arrested.. Why na Revolutionnow
It wld seem our govt never learns from d past. Kanu was only made more popular after his incarceration. Now a protest that was not likely to garner more than a few hundred participants in now being given fuel.....
Excellent! I don’t have to kill him myself
Some comments under this post, is the reason why I can't die for Nigeria. Lots of people would blame you for dying for them. They just seem comfortable with being in misery
And we warned o!🐇
tito_tttttttttt Lol! I think everyone saw that coming so what’s the noise for?
Corporatte_Thug 'abducted'
Some comments make me wonder and want to believe this same criticisms must have trailed Dele Giwa in his time. You are jobless &can barely eat,someone wants to lead a protest to demand better governance for everyone,you're saying he brought the govt in. Do u really want change?
Let him enjoy his beans
War
Dss without Shame! They must arrest all of us
Why did it take so long? He should be charged to court on Monday the 5th so as to begin the revolution there. Yeyedeysmell
Sowore always clean America with his Xmas clothes but deface Nigeria with his rags... Go and dine in kirikiri and get sense by force...
Stupid government you are making him famous
tellatemitayo
Good
Nigerian is at the End time now WeNeedRevolutionNow
Enjoyed our Next Level in Jail. Before coming out, all ongoing projects will be completed. Coming out to meet a new Nigeria 😂😂😂😂😂😂
FreeSowore RevolutionNow
We are looking for d solution to d problems we are facing in dis country, not trying to cause more havoc.
This govt is afraid of revolution. They know how powerful revolution through protests is. They used it against GEJ. They frustrated 2baba when he organized one. They proscribed IPOB. They proscribed IMN. They have arrested Sowore. They are frustrating RevolutionNow
A gud one from d govt, last site protested and we lost a serving corner and a police officer, and dis idiot wants to cause anoda uprising in d country, where innocent people will n killed whereas his family will b somewhere abroad enjoying their lives.
Lock him up and throw the keys away
E Don be
The tyrant regime you used ur Media house to install has now turned back to hunt u. The dog has bitten his master. That said,we must condemn every dictatorial tendencies of this government. How have Nigeria fallen down the pecking order?
So we've finally reached d point where nobody can speak or protest against d govt. I regret supporting Buhari in 2015, people said he was a tyrant I never believed. Now I know
sowore is facing proscription under malami's national interest decree. Please pray for him
bayuulivelife Na wa ohhhhh.
Tyranny Taken To The NextLevel Nigerians Will Have Sense By Force We Warned!
What are people like fkk ,odumakin doing that will not be arrested too, hope they will join sowore soon..
Great news. I wish he can spend the rest of his miserable life behind bar. Arrant nonsense 😄😄😄😄
This is a very gud move by the SSS, it is very important we save a live, since he said he wants to burn himself (commit suicide), we need to save him frm hurting himself. This is the effect of over consumption of EKITI+UTESE+KWALE vegetable 😂😂😂😂😂. Throw him into solitary pls
Next level loading !!!
Up sowore. No retreat
They voted for this man, let them suffer it.
Comfimation that Buhari is an anti democratic leader, a coward who's always against the rule of law.
Only empty skulls and weed smokers are supporting that sick man.
Good!!! The Guy wants to distabilize Nigeria.
At last
When they occupied Nigeria at Ojota nobody arrested them. Called GEJ different names nobody came for them. The higher we go the hotter it becomes.
At least, he has to be arrested. A careful signal to CASHVIST Deji.
Very good
I don't even understand where we are headed in this nation
They are adding petrol to the fire. Inciting more fury towards their regime,galvanizing people to rise up against their commands. Let them continue.
Yes.. this is the real revolution. No arrest No freedom. You have just ended up making him more popular and powerful✊ freeomoyelesowore
'Release our Party's Campaign Fund before burning yourself' AAC beg Sowore
Wow. So they took time out of their 'busy schedule' to go arrest Shekau sorry Sowore? Doesn't look fishy at all
Very good
