Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action
Congress (AAC) in the 2019 election, was allegedly injured by the policemen who
arrested him.
“Sowore was particularly singled out for torture by the
security operatives, who gave him a bloodied nose before whisking him away,” a
source reportedly said.
Earlier, Sowore had in a tweet called for the protest across
the country.
“How about a
CrossOver Protest/Uprising tonight? Anyone willing to participate? Pick up a
candle and a placard showing your grievances against the regime, let’s upload
our short videos and photos across our SOcial Media platforms. Let’s welcome
the regime to a RESOLUTE 2021!” he tweeted.
Mariam Yusuf, police spokesperson for the federal capital
territory (FCT), was not available to comment on the arrest.
In August 2019, Sowore was arrested by the Department of
State Service (DSS) for planning a nationwide protest.
He spent 141 days in detention before he was eventually
granted bail, with a condition restricting him from travelling out of Abuja.
