The protest in the UK comes amid growing demonstrations by AAC members and supporters across Nigeria.
Supporters of detained human rights activist and African Action Congress (AAC) leader, Omoyele Sowore, have intensified calls for his release, staging protests in the United Kingdom and Nigeria following his remand at the Kuje Correctional Centre by a Federal High Court in Abuja.
One of the protesters, Albert Obazee, said he had commenced a one-man protest in the United Kingdom to draw international attention to Sowore's detention and what he described as the worsening state of governance in Nigeria.
In a video obtained by SaharaReporters on Tuesday, Obazee urged Nigerians to actively participate in efforts to bring about political change rather than waiting for others to take action.
“I have started my one-man protest here in the UK to advocate for a better Nigeria. Stop waiting for others to motivate you. If you want change, be part of it. Nigeria deserves better, and the struggle for justice, accountability, and good governance belongs to all of us,” he said.
