Posted on
Olawale Bakare, the Convener of #RevolutionNow in Osun State, has been rearrested by operatives of the State Security Services,(SSS) in Osogbo, the Osun State capital.
In what became global awareness last year, a human rights activist, pro-democracy campaigner, and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, on August 4, 2019, staged a protest in Lagos, Abuja, Osun and other parts of the country which led to his arrest and detention.
Bakare, in the same period, was also arrested in Osogbo and arraigned alongside Sowore.
