Sowore lawyer, Inibehe Effiong who posted the development on his Facebook alleged that he was picked by the DSS and Nigeria Police officers.
“He was far away from the entrance of the Federal High Court in Abuja where he went to cover and monitor the trial of Nnamdi Kanu. They also seized his camera.
“Nigeria is under a full dictatorship. Buhari has murdered democracy. We demand his immediate release. It is not a crime for a citizen and a reporter to stand in a public place.”
Sowore who was at the court premises said he had come to attend the hearing of the five youths that were arrested for wearing #BuhariMustGo branded shirts at Dunamis Church.
Our correspondent learnt the activist, alongside his aide who was making a live-stream of events in front of the court, was arrested by police officers.
