The Department of State Services (DSS) has said it arrested the publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoleye Sowore, over plans of a revolution and for threatening public safety. DSS spokesman, Peter Afunanya, made this known on Sunday in Abuja, during a briefing with journalists at the Headquarters of the Service.

Afunanya explained that the DSS, as a responsible security organization, acted over the call for revolution in Nigeria. said: “Primarily revolution means a revolt, an insurrection, it means insurgency, it means the forceful takeover of government, and Nigeria operates a democratic system.”

“Whether we arrested Sowore or not, the answer is in the affirmative, yes he is with us, and why is he with us? He has crossed the line, he has threatened public safety. “Sowore has, as a matter of fact, threatened the peaceful co-existence and social harmony of Nigeria; there is apprehension, there is anxiety, citizens and residents are worried as to what will happen next,” Afunanya added.

He said, “we want to use this opportunity to assure law-abiding Nigerians, friends of Nigeria, and citizens of the world, that come tomorrow (today) 5th August 2019, there will be absolute peace in Nigeria, nothing will happen.” The DSS spokesman assured that there won’t be any revolution, adding that the government that had been elected democratically will be in place.

“There will not be any forceful takeover of government and the DSS will not stand idly by and watch self-serving people take laws into their hands,” he stressed. Afunanya had accused Sowore of also working with some persons outside Nigeria to cause disaffection, chaos and anarchy in the country.

They can keep Sowore for as long as they want.
Progressive Liberals like us won't lose sleep over a mole with a two-faced preek.

Why protest against a government whose leader you congratulated in an openly rigged election charade?
A government whose leader you refused to file an election petition over?

Did you protest when the Shiites were shot down or when the python danced on the graves of Igbos?
Now that it is apparent that the baton in 2023 may be handed over to the North, you want a revolution.

I pity those whose sentiments you can sway.

NwaAmaikpe knows better than to feel any sympathy for someone who is probably presently strategizing with the same leaders he wants people to revolt against.

No member of my family; linear, extended or even distant who is resident in Nigeria will partake in that fvckery protest.

Trumped up charges.

herms men are not thread to public peace

They want to guarantee peace in the country by arresting Sowore. What a joke.

These are the same people releasing Boko Haram, Ruga and militants into the community after wasting Billions on them as bribes.

Revolution fighters may have come predominantly from one section of the country from Herbert Macauley to Sowore today, they opened the doors for all and these reactionaries to govern a country.

Bleeping preek, you have no future all of your families are doomed.

Why are you lying like this.

Yoruba land never resisted British rule rather they begged them to come and rule them.

I have been vindicated, that Sowore meeting with Nnamdi kanu is one the reasons he was arrested.
He should be strong if he is genuine & believe in #Revolutionnow.

I agree to a certain extent, he crossed the line with his rhetoric, but to arrest him is wrong. It is a stupid act by a dullard president. Nigeria is really a shithole if all we can produce for presidents are the kinds of Buhari and Atiku. Thats the Fulani presence and the Yoruba pettimindedness at work.

We had Donald Duke, Sowore and Oby Ezekwesili to chose from and we chose Buhari. Shame!!!

Keep the joker till 2023. Ole barawo

Please, what do you do to persons that cross the line? A pat at the back? He should count himself lucky Mr President is not Puti of Russia.

He didnt cross the line. He crossed it with his words, not his actions. The government knows he is not planning a revolution but a protest. They know that Sowore in no sense can start a civil war or rebellion. They only arrested him to stop criticism not revolution.

Sadly enough, Someone like Sowore can not overthrow the Government.
