The Nigerian police have again arrested the publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, for leading a protest in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
Sowore and some activists were arrested during the protest, which was a planned procession across the country on New Year eve.
Some of the protesters who escaped arrest confirmed to newsmen that Sowore was whisked away in one of the seven vans of the Nigerian police mobilized to the protest ground at Gudu junction in Abuja.
Although our sources did not know where Sowore was taken to after the arrest, it was learned that the former presidential candidate was taken to Abattoir police station in Logokoma, Abuja where he is currently being detained alongside others.
Police spokesperson, Frank Mba, did not respond to calls for his comment for this report.
