On the same night of Dorsey’s co-sign, the Twitter accounts of the Feminist Coalition, a group of Nigerian feminists fighting against the injustice of SARS and Feyikemi FK Abudu, a Twitter personality who has also been organising fund-raising and support for the protests have been verified.

The #EndSARS protests are set to continue even after the Inspector General of Police has disbanded the controversial Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) unit of the Nigerian Police Force.

The #EndSARS protests have continued with further demands

Young Nigerians have continued with the protests with further demands for full compensations to the families of those who have died as a result of police brutality, the arrest and prosecution of the police officers involved and the total reform of the Nigerian police.
