Olawale Bakare, the Convener of #RevolutionNow in Osun State, has been rearrested by operatives of the State Security Services,(SSS) in Osogbo, the Osun State capital.

In what became global awareness last year, a human rights activist, pro-democracy campaigner, and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, on August 4, 2019, staged a protest in Lagos, Abuja, Osun and other parts of the country which led to his arrest and detention.
