Disclosing arrest of Bashir Abubakar, Omoyele Sowore earlier wrote on his X page:
“The lawless @OfficialDSSNG has began inciting the public to riot even before the D-Day, early this morning they arrested a young man Bashir Abubakar in Kano.
“His offence was that he advertised that he’s made T-shirts for the upcoming protests. Earlier another young activist was sent to prison in Kano for posting about the protest. The @OfficialDSSNG must release Abubakar immediately. #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria #DaysOfRage #RevolutionNow”
It will be recalled that in a lengthy tweet published on his X account on Saturday, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, warned against staging a protest against the federal government.
Onanuga, on the other hand, proposed a Save Nigeria Rally from August 1–15, 2024, in response to preparations for statewide protest on August 1–10 over growing cost of living and economic hardship.
