#RevolutionNow: CORE Demands Immediate Freedom For Bakare, Sanusi, Olatokun | Sahara Reporters

The Coalition for Revolution, a political movement, has demanded the immediate freedom of a group of young Nigerians arrested by the Department of State Services during a peaceful protest organised under the banner of #RevolutionNow Movement.The group demanded the immediate and unconditional release of the three arrested protesters.

“We are using this opportunity to thank the array of lawyers who were on hand to support CORE in our collective struggle for a better society, by providing legal aid which made this possible. These include members of the Revolutionary Lawyers Forum , Radical Mandate Agenda for the Nigeria Bar Association and lawyers of the African Action Congress party and the Socialist Party of Nigeria .

“In some of the thirteen states where the #RevolutionNow protests took place, the security agencies showed the necessary respect for our democratic rights as citizens to protest. The #August5thProtest took place in 13 states across the federation. While the police and state security services personnel did their best to scuttle the protests taking place everywhere.

“However, in not less than 6 six states and the Federal Capital Territory, the security agencies acted with brutality in a manner reminiscent of the era of military dictatorship in Nigeria. The SSS command in Osun state is most culpable of this high-handed and brazen contempt for our constitutionally enshrined rights.”
