Rights activist and Convener of #RevolutionNow Movement, Omoyele Sowore, has alleged that his life is been threatened by the Nigerian government, as they are planning to arrest and kill him.
Sowore made this known in a series of tweets on Wednesday night.
Recall that Sowore was arrested over a year ago by operatives of the Department of State Services for calling on Nigerians to take to the streets in peaceful demonstrations on August 5, 2019.
The controversial activist who contested the 2019 presidential election noted that the Nigerian military had put a bounty on his head for him to be either arrested or killed.
He wrote:
#RevolutionNow Info reaching me now is that a signal from DIA has put a bounty on my head, that I must be arrested or murdered as they claim I’d resist arrest in the next 24hrs! This is from the Defence HQ here is Abuja! Be it known that this can’t affect the struggle for freedom

Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami @MalamiSan and new chief of staff, Ibrahim Gambari and @HQNigerianArmy chief, Buratai are all involved! @cenbank Governor, Godwin Emefiele is bankrolling the deadly plot

The @policeng team dispatched to the NASS on Friday opened fire on me and stole one of my vehicles, they refused to return it even it was meant for PRESS duties, the FCT Police Commissioner, Bala Ciroma told me the car committed a crime and will be charged, it was shocking

Over the week their minions wrote press releases, letters to foreign embassies, @TheNationNews was generous in claiming some “Genuine EndSars” people want me arrested. The @HQNigerianArmy had a team of @twitter influencers on Sunday suggesting I should be assassinated
