Over 30 Arrested As #Revolutionnow Protesters Storm Lagos Streets On Independence Day

 

Hundreds of protesters took to the streets of Lagos to demand an end to bad governance in Nigeria on the occasion of its 60th Independence and at least 30 of those protesters have been arrested.

The demonstrators told newsmen that they were members of #RevolutionNow protesters.

Some members of the group, including the organizer, Omoyele Sowore, were arrested last year by the Federal Government for carrying out a similar protest.

During today’s protest in Lagos, Nigerian security officers stormed the area and took at least 30 of them into custody.

Similar protests are also taking place in some other states in the country.
