The convener of the Concerned Nigerians Group, Deji Adeyanju, has alleged that some top government sympathizers attempted to shut their mouth up by bribing his group to stop its planned protest against the detention of Omoyele Sowore, a co-convener of RevolutionNow movement and Publisher of Sahara Reporters.
He disclosed this on Tuesday at the ongoing protest in front of the Headquarters of the Department of State Services, DSS, at Aso Drive in Abuja, displaying the said sum before the media.
Adeyanju said, “We were offered one million Naira at gunpoint with a promise for more, for us not to hold this rally. Those who gave us this money know themselves, we also know those who gave us the money.
“We will not compromise, if those who gave us the money don’t come and collect it back today, we will give it to Femi Falana , SAN to defray Sowore’s legal costs.”
Meanwhile, the Department of State Services (DSS) was reportedly firing gunshots at the protesters who had converged in the area to demand the release of Omoyele Sowore.
The protesters scampered for safety as the DSS agents fired shots indiscriminately.
