Nigerians have attacked President Muhammadu Buhari over the early Saturday arrest of a former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore.

Security operatives suspected to be from the Department of State Security (DSS) arrested Sowore at his apartment around 1:25 am.

Sowore, who is also the publisher of SaharaReporters, had his phone seized when he attempted to raise alarm over the invasion of his residence.

The arrest is believed to be connected to the #RevolutionNow protests which is set to commence nationwide on August 5.

Nigerians have condemned President Buhari, saying the arrest signals a reminder of the military era in the country.

Just Confirmed that one of the leaders of the #RevolutionNow movement Comrade Omoyele Sowore @YeleSowore has been arrested by armed men of the DSS overnight. Those who make peaceful negotiations impossible makes violent revolution inevitable. It has started.#FreeSowore pic.twitter.com/tN9TAMmDWE

It appears the DSS is still under the control of Lawan Daura; the DG that broke Judges homes at night to arrest them.

I am waiting to know why @dadiyata will be kidnapped from his home at 1am, in front of his family.
Nigeria is finished under Buhari. #FreeDadiyataNow
