It was a palpable chaos after publisher, politician, and human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, reportedly collapsed following a confrontation with the police during a Democracy Day protest at the Unity Fountain in Abuja, Nigeria.
The activist was said to have collapsed after police operatives moved to disperse protesters gathered to demonstrate against insecurity, economic hardship and poor governance.
The demonstrators were dispersed after security personnel deployed tear gas canisters in an apparent attempt to break up the gathering.
Amid the incident, Sowore has now been reportedly taken to an undisclosed hospital for further examination and treatment.
