In their statement, the police acknowledged Nigerians have a constitutional right to speech and peaceful assembly, but warned, still, that the protest planned by Mr Sowore should be scrapped because it may turn violent.
The full statement of the police as released by Force Headquarters spokesperson, Frank Mba, is reproduced below: The Force wishes to state unequivocally that the call amounts to treasonable felony and acts of terrorism and will therefore not stand idly-by and watch any individual or group in the society cause anarchy in the land.
The Force therefore warns the organisers, sponsors, allies, supporters, associates and sympathisers of the group ‘Global Coalition for Security and Democracy in Nigeria’ to, in their own interest, steer clear of any such planned protest, demonstration, acts of incitement and proposed “revolution”, as the full wrath of the law will be brought to bear on any individual or group engaged or found participating in the above planned criminal act.
And it seems Oga IG doesn't know the meaning of Terrorism....it was a peaceful protest devoid of arms and all.....Now when it comes to your kinsmen who kills without batting an eyelid, you withdraw from doing the needful, .if you refuse to o do what is right.. your end is near
The police IG has carried his interpretation of Sowore's actions too far. Ouick to draw that conclusion on an action that is supposed to be peaceful, suggest a witchhunt. This wouldn't be helping the security situation in the country.
This IG is illiterate, if he utters those worfs
“An act of terrorism” Have this fool even read the constitution The right to peaceful assembly and expression are guaranteed rights. Ironically, the government’s reaction actually makes the case as to why the protest is necessary...
.GEJonathan led with EI. Pained & feeling the pains of all, he consulted, tolerated insults, allowed all express themselves in ways that included protests (political or patriotic), providing them security. He wasn't perfect, but not petty or harsh either.
Oga IG no need to talk please, just do the needful on Monday. Simple 🇳🇬
Sowore u wan do revolution after u lose for election.hmmm.u know well for head.
I thought the guy is smart,why call his movement 'Revolution',he should have chosen a more sensible words like 'Awakening of Nigerians' which doesn't shows militancy
What is this
Sowore would soon b tagged a terrorist.... O boi
Failure of our leaders at all levels to provide basic amenities gave rise to the intent for protest. behavewellNigerialeaders
The people have a right to reject any government that torment them.
So what about the real Terrorists, the Herdsmen! What will there’s be called?
Banditry is not an act of terrorism ? Boko haram Killings is not an act of terrorism? Herdsmen Killings Is not an act of terrorism ? But a demonstration asking for a better country is an act of terrorism. Eskis me sir eti ya werey!!!!
Nigeria 🇳🇬 is a comedy series🤣😂😁
Killer Herdsmen activities- part of brotherhood

He also tags it as a day of rage.
FreeSoworeNow
The real terrorists and hoodlums in Nigeria are the ruling class. The masses should take over their country as it has happened in some countries.
That is the revolution I will support.
The government must clamp down on all the enemies of the state, all those who has one hand or the other in stealing the common wealth of country. Subsequent government should go ahead in probing this present one. Obasanjos, Atikus, Jonathans, and all those that worked with them.
Revolution means “CHANGE”. Think about: IndustrialRevolution ClimateRevolution TechRevolution RevolutionNow is exercising FreedomOfSpeech on - kidnappings - 12M kids out of school - multidimensional poverty - herdsmen - unemployment - police brutality FreeSowore
