Rights activist and journalist, Omoyele Sowore, has raised the alarm over a plot by the Nigerian Government to detain him over revelations by his news outlet, SaharaReporters, that Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Abba Kyari, tested positive for Coronavirus.
In a message to his followers on Facebook on Thursday, Sowore said his lawyers had informed him of a high-powered delegation sent to the Federal High Court in Abuja to obtain a detention order.
Sowore said, "Folks, it is important to inform you that we are facing some unusual circumstances and the days ahead might be very tensed and difficult, but we will conquer.
"If I am arrested alive, they would take me to a military barracks in Abuja to be tortured and or infected with COVID-19.
"I am not raising the alarm to scare anyone, it is to inform our compatriots that we should brace for difficult days ahead.
"However, rest assured that we are in high spirits and are totally convinced that we may be turning a historic corner in the face of brutal repression.
"I am urging all to stand firm, unbowed and unbroken." He said
