Victor Ogungbenro, the team lead of SaharaReporters Video Team, has been arrested by security agents deployed to the National Stadium, Surulere, venue of the # RevolutionNow protest.

Ogungbenro, along with other SaharaReporters journalists, had gone to the venue of the protest to cover the protest.

However, in a video that is now on SaharaReporters Facebook page, protesters were harassed and whisked away into a van marked, 'Lagos State Task Force'.  

Even journalists were not spared despite the fact that they were not part of the protesters.

Victor was asked a couple of questions by the policemen and upon identifying himself as a SaharaReporters journalist was manhandled and arrested.
