protesters.
The ingenuity of Nigerian youths while protesting Police
brutality has been consistent as people from different walks of
life offer their services pro bono.
Helplines and charging ports, among others, have been set up by
the protesters to press home their demands.
We have a helpline now as well!

The #EndSARS protests have given a platform to the youths to
prove they can create a system that works if and when given the
opportunity.
Most youths serving others in the protests range from 20s, 30s
and 40s.
These individuals have built an effective multidisciplinary
nationwide network in less than a week with less than N100m (in
donations that are still adding up).
They asking, daily and on social media and in the
demonstrations, why the government has not been able to use taxes
appropriately while theorizing that the people currently in charge
are just interested in their share of the “National Cake.”

built in one week.You are not lazy!#EndSARS https://t.co/U5ddVai0FX

The most derided groups in
Nigeria—feminists, women, queer, disabled, and youth— are the ones
out here protesting for the lives of all Nigerians.Ain’t that something?

The #EndSARS protests have been ongoing for more than 11
days.
Although the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu
had disbanded the notorious Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in
the wake of the protests, the agitation has continued to gain
traction across the country.
They have rejected the new tactical unit – Special Weapons
and Tactics (SWAT) – formed by the police authorities to replace
SARS, saying there is no difference between the former and the
latter.
