The police on Monday sealed off the venue of a symposium where Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, Femi Falana (SAN) and other speakers where to address the state of insecurity in the country.

The programme organised by a group known as Coalition for Revolution (CORE) was billed to hold at 46, Ibijoke street, Oluyole Bus-stop, Oregun, Lagos.

It has as its theme: “Democracy, State Repression and the State of insecurity in Nigeria”.

However, when our correspondent showed up at the venue, police vans were seen at strategic locations around the venue preventing people from entering.

Falana, who is present at the venue, has been seen discussing with the policemen, ostensibly to find out why they are being prevented from holding the programme.

A tweet via a Twitter handle Revolutionary Towolawi Jamiu @jharmo, showed that the symposium was organised by the Coalition for Revolution, CORE.

The organisers said it was scheduled to be, “A working consultative assembly of activists and organisations against the draconian development and the detention of scores of activists in the DSS detention cells.”

It has hashtags, #FreeSoworeNow and #RevolutionNow.

The event’s flier also contained a coterie of demands from the Federal Government.

Such demands include: “economy for all,” “total system change,” “rationalisation of power sector and the probe of its privatisation,” among others.
