More TakeItBack and AAC members were arrested
this morning at a peaceful protest to demand the release of 6 members who were
arrested yesterday for pasting posters.
The Take it Back Movement and AAC party is
still trying to account for its members that embarked on a peaceful protest
this morning.
Witnesses at the scene reported being shot at
and tear gassed, with many of them sustaining injuries.
At least one vehicle has been impounded
complete with a mounted sound system for campaign purposes.
Sahara Reporters, on hand to cover the
peaceful protest, report that ten members have been arrested – including some
of their own staff.
The protest is in response to 6 TakeItBack
supporters who were arrested during the early hours of yesterday, Sunday 10th
December, following cooked up charges of damaging and defacing posters
belonging to other parties. The order to disrupt the peaceful awareness
exercise being carried out by members of Sowore’s party, the AAC, is believed
to have come from Imohimi Edgar, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police.
