Nigeria, Aug. 19 -- Sariyu Akanmu, a 70-year-old fufu seller, who was brutalised in Osogbo, Osun State, by the police during #RevolutionNow protest, has started receiving help from the public.

Mrs Akanmu also called for the release of Sahara Reporters publisher, Omoyele Sowore, who initiated the protest but was arrested by State Security Service.

PREMIUM TIMES reported how the woman vowed to support more protests to express her displeasure over the poor state of Nigeria.

"I heard the protesters talking about suffering in Nigeria and particularly unemployment. I have kids who are yet to secure jobs many years after graduation. I became moved by their demands," she said in Yoruba then.

"I have nothing to lose at 70," she added.
