Unbowed And Unbroken-Take It Back Members Visit Courageous Sowore In DSS Detention

Omoyele Sowore (Publisher SaharaReporters)

At about 6pm today the 5th day of August, 2019, some members of the Take It Back Movement were allowed to visit the convener, Omoyele Sowore, for the first time since he was abducted in the early hours of last Saturday, 3rd August, 2019.

The visitors met him in high spirit, unmoved by the events of the last few days. The officers allowed the guests to present him with food as Sowore had refused all meals given to him since his abduction. We are also happy to confirm that Take It Back members will be allowed to bring him food on daily basis as per Sowore's wishes.

The freedom figther was quick to ask about Movement and Party faithfuls as he is aware that there will be a lot of worry about his well-being, and would like to assure everyone that he is being treated well and is in a very good health.

He is pleased that the peaceful #RevolutionNow protests he called Nigerians to stand for went ahead, and has expressed his dismay at knowledge of the sheer number of innocent Nigerians being arrested for exercising their civil rights. He is greatly concerned about the well-being of all those arrested and or affected by today's heavy handed police action, and joins in demanding for their immediate release.

Indeed, the silver lining in today's unrest lies in the knowledge that truly, you cannot stop an idea whose time has come.

Take It Back Movement will continue to agitate for his release as well as that of every single comrade whose voice this oppressive regime has tried to silence.

This visit was a small win, but we will not rest until we are free and free indeed.

This information was confirmed and made know to the Nigerian public by Rachek Onamusi-Kpiasi, the Director, PR, Media and Communications of the Take It Back Movement.
