A social media user believes Nigeria is due for a revolution with the arrest and remand of Human Rights activist, Dele Farotimi generating public backlash.
The X user with the handle @MentusNnaemeka made the argument in agreement with political activist, Omoyele Sowore who opined that the country was "overdue" for a revolution.
"Nigeria is indeed overdue for revolution," he wrote.
Sowore who was one of the first individuals to criticize the arrest of Farotimi in a viral post described the "justice system as wack". He questioned why the activist was hurriedly prosecuted and denied bail by a Judge in Ado-Ekiti.
"The Nigerian justice system is wack, as expected @DeleFarotimi has been hurriedly prosecuted and sent to prison after being denied bail by a judge in Ado Ekiti pre-arranged to do the same. The @policeng, Chief Afe Babalola, SAN, and the judicial officers had it all planned out even before they sent the goons from Ekiti state command RRS (formerly SARS) to abduct him. The case adjourned till December 10, 2024. #RevolutionNow, I mean it. Nigeria is overdue for a REVOLUTION!" Sowore wrote.
