Nigerians have continued to react to the arrest of the publisher of Sahara reporters, Omoyele Sowore who was arrested on Saturday by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS).
In the reactions captured by Eye9ja, some criticised Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s president for allegedly ordering the arrest of the activist after his planned protest to demand the rights of Nigerians.
Here are some of the reactions captured on microblogging site, Twitter.
Revolution protest is not war, but a way of demanding for our right as a citizen of a country where the government don’t care about the lives and properties of his citizens #FreeSowore #RevolutionNow pic.twitter.com/1bxUt1NCQg

Dear @MBuhari
We didn't vote for you to be arresting innocent citizens and be endorsing Terrorist and blood sucking herdsman.
You can't continue to oppress us when we have all the necessary things to make this country a better place,Resign now or #FreeSowore
