Activists have defied the Federal Government order banning them from holding the #RevolutionNow protest called by the publisher of Sahara Reporters, Mr. Omoyele Sowore.

The protest which was meant to be a ‘peaceful protest’ against the rising spate of Insecurity and problems in the country, erupted into Chaos as Police Officers released gunshots and teargas at the protesters.
