#RevolutionNow: How I was Badly Brutalized By Security Officers - 70-Year-Old Fufu Seller
According to Naija news Reports, A 70-year-old woman ,Sariyu Akanmu manhandled by security agents for being part of the RevolutionNow protest organized by Omoyele Sowore, has revealed why she supported the rally.
Sowore has since been arrested and detained by the President Muhammadu Buhari regime and the Department of State Services (DSS) had obtained a court order to keep the activist in detention for at least for 45 days.
Akanmu, an Osogbo-based fufu seller, said she joined the protest because “the suffering in the country is too much".
“I heard the protesters saying Nigerians were suffering. I am a Nigerian and I am suffering. I dropped my fufu tray with someone selling soft drinks (soda) and biscuits nearby and joined the protesters.
"I joined them to express my feelings about the hardship in the country. The suffering in the country is too much,” she told PUNCH in an interview.
Why won’t I stay? If those young boys were not afraid of death and they stayed there, why should I run away? I am old and do not have many years more to live but I wish to enjoy my remaining years on earth,” she added regarding her fearlessness in the face of heavily-armed security agents.
