#Occupy Nigeria: Jonathan Orders Arrest Of Femi Falana, Tunde Bakare, Dino Melaye And Shehu Sani

Activists targeted for arrest: Falana, Dino, Shehu Sanni and Pastor Bakare
By SaharaReporters, New York

In a bid to undermine the growing protest against his government's removal of fuel subsidy, President Goodluck Jonathan has ordered the SSS to arrest civil rights attorney, Femi Falana, Fiery Lagos pastor, Tunde Bakare, ex-member of house of representatives, Dino Melaye and and Kaduna based activist, Shehu Sani.

Two sources within the State Security Services told Saharareporters that the security agency had received presidential instructions to move against these four men as well as other perceived organizers of the resistance against the government's dramatic  increase of the price of fuel.

"The presidency has decided that the way to break the protest is to go after those that the government believed to be the brains organizing the #Occupy Nigeria protests, " said one of the sources.

 The protests in the last one week has attracted larger crowds in Lagos, Ibadan, Kano, Kaduna and several other Nigerian cities to show that the masses reject President Jonathan's policy to impose further suffering on the Nigerian people.

 The presidency's instruction to the SSS is seen as desperate move to forestall a series of massive protests in Kaduna as well well as other northern cities and towns which promises to beat the Lagos crowd.

 In addition, the Jonathan administrations has been rattled by swelling crowds that have attended protest rallies in Lagos and other Nigerian cities.

. . . I'm very deeply irgeved! Nigeria is far too blessed a country for its people to resort to these humiliating alternatives to power.Its good to know that we're creative, but frankly, this attribute should be channeled to less mediocre projects.Everybody should get thinking --especially our electrical engineering grads and undergrads. Sometimes. . . I wonder what people are being taught in school

ARREST OF OPPOSITIONS

Our leaders will never learn from the past the moment they enter into "Aso" and beginning to enjoy our money they tag 'national cake' I just pray that the present govt. will not end up like abacha, babangida, sadam, gadaffi and host of other defiant leaders who will never hearken to the voice of their people and that of wisdom bcos 'the voice of people is voice of God' and many heads are better than two or three.

You must be very stupid to say that , politicians or oppositions are they not Nigerians ? Are we in military or civil governance ? people have the right to come out either on media or on public to air their views for whichever action government took and they are not comfortable with it , this is the wost government Nigerians ever had since independence . Government that can not protect the lives and properties of it's citizenry , government that can not provides twelve hours of electricity , employments , portable drinking water ,good roads ,our roads have become death traps all over the country and huge amounts of money has been budgeted every year since the taking over these bastard mother party called pdp thirteen years ago.

Sahara Reporting: A Chalice

What is SR doing in this article. I do not need to quote you to correct your untruths, but I need to let you know that your article ignored the configuration of the recent protests. Note I was cynical about all the protests, because it is business as usual, and with this type of reportage, you only continue to play on the sentiments of unwary Nigerians. sensational articles such as this one have been characteristic of your style. You do not help Nigerians to get out of their dilemma by mere sensational opiate. But you ought to bear the touch of the light high enough so that those who walk in the dark can have some light. Do not make the light of your reporting go paparazzi-like.
Besides as people who have seen outside the walls of Nigeria and who like to speak the truth to power, you ought to know that Nigerians need more than #Occupy. Be more mature in your reportage, I would assume, if I may!

Yet we say we are practicing

Yet we say we are practicing DEMOCRACY!

let people comment

SUBSIDY REMOVAL

Events recorded during the protest is worrisome, Nigerians should learn how to manage site whenever such national issue degenerate to protest.

The battle for sustaining the hiked PMS pump price to N65.00 is lost due to unwholesome posting of unethical content in Occupy Nigeria Homepage; Images of a man displaying his prowess/voodoo on a burning fire or a minor ply carding on the protest of oil subsidy removal gives a different coloration to government side about the whole struggle of the protest even the outside world will opined that it's a carnival.

I pray such did not happen, if it happened, administrator of the site should have the exclusive right to post on such dedicated homepage.

The unedited images displays on the site i beheld is enough to nullified all the struggle by right thinking Human
