By Modupe Shodeinde
Human Rights Activist, Omoyele Sowore, has urged his supporters to continue with the struggle even if he dies.
The Activist took to his Twitter handle to confirm he was shot by a Police officer at the Unity Fountain in Abuja.
“Just been shot by a police officer, ACP Atine at the Unity Fountain in Abuja. #RevolutionNow Let the struggle continue even if they take my life!” he tweeted.
Daily Trust reports that Inibehe Effiong, one of Sowore’s lawyers, said that the officer fired a teargas cannister directly at the right thigh of the activist.
“The criminal officer is said to be CSP Atine. I watched Sowore being shot live on Facebook.”
“This is what Nigeria has been turned into under Buhari. They’ve declared war on the Civic Space.
“The FCT Police Commissioner has fenced the Unity Fountain with iron and cables to prevent protests.
“This is a criminal offence under the Anti-Torture Act of 2017.”
Sowore has reportedly been taken to the hospital
