The convener of the #RevolutionNowMovement, Omoyele Sowore, has narrated how he was shot by a policeman during a rally in Abuja on Monday.<\/p>\n

While speaking after being discharged from the hospital on Tuesday, Sowore said claims made by the police that no one was shot at the rally were false.<\/p>\n

The Police Command in the Federal Capital Territory had claimed that Sowore was not shot.<\/p>\n

The Police Public Relations Officer in the FCT, ASP Mariam Yusuf, in a statement, said \u201cthere is no record of such incident\u201d, noting that police officers professionally restored calm at the Unity Fountain, venue of the protest.<\/p>\n

But Sowore<\/a> noted that apart from shooting him, the police officers attempted to scare protesters away so that they would not rescue him.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cFemi Falana\u2019s ASCAB invited us to a protest against growing insecurity in the country. I left home alongside other friends. Upon approaching the venue, we received intelligence that the police had locked the gate.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe explained to them (police officers) that it is within our rights to protest. We told them that it was wrong to shut the gate of the venue against us but they refused. We reached the Commissioner of Police. He responded that he had no hand in it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I looked back, I discovered that between three and five trucks loaded with police officers had arrived at the scene. We started singing solidarity songs and began to stream live on social media. From nowhere, a policewoman came and approached me with a federal riot gun.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is used in shooting projectiles or teargas. It is not meant to be used to shoot persons. At such a close range, she looked at me and said \u2018Sowore, you are the one that is here\u2019. She shot at me. I started to bleed. I noticed that blood was running underneath my trousers. I couldn\u2019t walk again.<\/p>\n

\u201cUpon being on the ground, she instructed her men to shoot their teargas in our direction, apparently to prevent people from saving me. But the two men beside me rushed me to the hospital. On our way to the hospital, I discovered that my tie was swelling and expanding.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe got halfway into the public hospital before deciding to go to a private hospital. When we discovered that one hospital couldn\u2019t manage my level pains, we went to another private hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n

The activist raised the alarm that this is the third time police attacked him.<\/p>\n

On one of the occasions, Sowore said a policeman headbutted and broke his nose.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have seen some pro-government narratives. This was the same thing that the government said when the DSS wanted to abduct me in court The senate investigated but after finding out the truth, they could not release the outcome. This is the third time they are sending police to attack me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
