    By Staff Writer on October 13, 2020 Africa

    The tech ecosystem has continued to show financial support for #EndSARS as the protest continues globally.

    #EndSARS started on Social Media but migrated to the streets some days ago when youths decided enough was enough.

    Even though the Inspector General of Police announced the disbandment of Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), the protests are still going on across the nation and in some nations around the world.

    Here are some of the techies that have contributed funds to the #EndSARS as it is a protest that they can relate to

    Flutterwave

    The funds flow for the #EndSARS support started with Flutterwave whose CE, Gbenga Agboola, announced that the company had raised N2m and decided to open it to the public.

    We've raised 2m so far, and the team decided to open it up to the public.Β 

    We are 100% against all forms of violence & brutality and we need to band together to put an end to this.

    You can join the donation here – https://t.co/87hm5RdsYNΒ #EndSars
