Some members of the mass protest tagged RevolutionNow are currently gathered under the flyover in front of the National Stadium in Surulere, Lagos State, ostensibly to carry out the planned protest.
However, security operatives were on hand to monitor events and forestall any possible breakdown of law and order.
Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the February 2019 general election, and publisher of the online medium, Sahara Reporters, Mr. Omoyele Sowore, had called for the staging of what he termed ‘RevolutionNow’.

Sowore had described the move as a protest against bad governance in the country.
He was, however, arrested on Saturday by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) at his Lagos home.
The DSS had said that Sowore was arrested “for threatening public safety, peaceful co-existence and social harmony in the country.”
