TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that Nigerians are planning a nationwide protest to express their dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs in the country.

According to Muhammad Mustapha Umar in a Facebook post on Sunday, Abubakar had posted the shirt “END BAD GOVERNMENT IN NIGERIA 2024 AREWA MU FARKA” for those who were interested in the protest to purchase when he was arrested by the Nigerian security at Kwari Market.

Reacting to the arrest, former presidential candidate of African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore who condemned the arrest said a team of lawyers has been sent to the Kano directorate of @OfficialDSSNG to get Bashir Abubakar released immediately.

He further added the security agency was also asked to withdraw their bogus charges against Junaidu Abdullahi (Abusalma), who was sent to Kano prison last Friday for posting the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria viral video on @tiktok_us.

Sowore added that “the DSS initially denied that they arrested Bashir, but when they were confronted with evidence, they “pleaded” that they needed more time to process him. The trick is to send him to a Kangaroo court early tomorrow morning and send him straight to prison as they did “Abusalma”But we should warn that it will backfire spectacularly as activists in Kano are watching. The @OfficialDSSNG must release these two activists immediately.”
