#REVOLUTIONNOW: FALZ REACTS ON THE ARREST OF OMOYELE’S SOWORE
Folarin Falana, aka Falz, Nigerian multi-talented musician and the son of renowned lawyer and human right activist Femi Falana, has joined the list of prominent Nigerians to weigh in on the recent arrest of human right activist, Omoyele Sowore, a Nigerian human rights activist, former presidential candidate, and founder of online news agency Sahara Reporters.
DSS had arrested Sowore over the weekend after he called for a nationwide staging of protests against what he described as bad governance.
Falz in his reaction decried the rate of poverty and unemployment in Nigeria. The rapper took to his Twitter page and wrote What we are facing is a build-up of the several years of neglect of the welfare of our people. Our government’s constant disregard for the loss of lives of many Nigerians. Organizing a protest march does not in anyway amount to treason. #FreeSowore Immediately!
