The Civil Society Organization (CSOs) who have been pivotal in demanding the release of Omoyele Sowore, have been attacked by thugs during a protest in Abuja.

The incidence took place at the headquarters of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) in Abuja, when the protesters went to submit a letter of protest to the commission.

Deji Adeyanju, convener of Concerned Nigerians, other leaders of the protest and journalists ran when the thugs unleashed terror on them.

we are not clear yet as to why the protesters were attacked by the thugs.

Sowore was on December 6, rearrested by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), just a few hours after he was released.

He had earlier spent 124 days in custody.

Sowore is charged with insulting President Muhammadu Buhari, treasonable felony and money laundering.

The court had summoned Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation (AGF), and Yusuf Bichi, director-general of the Department of State Services (DSS), over the detention of the pro-democracy activist despite a subsisting order for his release

Here is Deji Adeyanju brutally attacked and violently injured by thugs sponsored by those we all know.

This is what our country has become under a bloody tyrant.
