‎There was panic after human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, collapsed following a confrontation with the police during a Democracy Day protest at the Unity Fountain in Abuja.

‎Sowore 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.
