The RevolutionNow protests movement which started yesterday in Lagos has spread to other parts of Nigeria.
The protest which started one year ago has lead to clashes between demonstrators and security agents in Lagos, Ogun, Osun, Ondo, Niger and Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja.
According to a reliable source, at least 100 demonstrators were arrested during the mass action, some activists reported.
Unlike Lagos, security agents also took over the streets of Kano to ensure nobody came out for the protests.
On the arrests made, six people, including Olawale Bakare, a co-defendant with Omoyele Sowore, Agba Jalingo, and a journalist were arrested.
While the protest continued, there was an effort to reach the media office of the Presidency, but it was to no avail.
Meanwhile, reactions from from civil society organizations have trailed the clampdown on the protesters and the muteness of the presidency.
According to the protesters, the reason for their protest is the high unemployment rate and rising insecurity and poverty in Nigeria.
They also disclosed that, they want good governance, infrastructural development, end to extra-judicial killings, and the sack of service chiefs over poor security situation in the country, among others.
