Protesters on Friday gathered at the Nigerian Police Force headquarters in Abuja to demand the release of detained PREMIUM TIMES reporter, Samuel Ogundipe.
The demonstration, led by the #TakeItBack Movement and the OurMumuDonDo Movement, held despite the heavy deployment of armed officers who formed a shield around protesters.
The National Secretary of the OurMumuDonDo Movement, Adebayo Raphael, who was first to arrive the protest ground on Friday, said “whether the representatives of NUJ are here or not, we will continue to protest for his release because he is a Nigerian.” Mr Adebayo started the protest alone while waiting for others.
The Convener of Concerned Nigerians, Deji Adeyanju, who later joined the activists said the protest will continue everyday until Mr Ogundipe is released.
