How Startups Are Supporting Protests To End Police Brutality In Nigeria by TheEdvocate: 5:22pm On Oct 13, 2020
Police brutality and COVID-19: two viruses currently killing Nigerians. But the former is more deadly, it has killed more Nigerian youths than COVID-19.

Despite the dissolution of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) on October 11, 2020, the #EndSARSProtest has intensified. Nigerian youths want police brutality to stop. They want a definite end to the rogue unit, which has been banned at least four times in three years.

These Tech Companies Have Shown Support for #EndSARS Protest
Following the unfortunate encounter of Akinmolayan Oluwatoni with the brute police division in September 2019, tech leaders started the #StopRobbingUs campaign. The campaign is "against the imminent threat by the Nigerian Police to the $2 billion tech industry and the rights and freedom of Nigerian youth".

The #StopRobbingUs campaign is still calling on more survivors of police brutality to come forward, so that it can file multiple legal suits against the NPF. Survivors can contact the campaign via /stoprobbingus-survivors.

#EndSARSProtest Donors
More than 15 tech companies in Nigeria have donated money to support the protest to end police brutality in the country.
