EndSARS: Protesters Launch Help Centre, ‘Soro Soke’ Online Radio

Ololade Adeyanju/

Nigerian youths participating in the #EndSARS protests across the country have established a help centre and an online radio named ‘Soro Soke’

The protesters are demanding a total reform of the Nigeria Police.

NewsmakersNG learnt that the help centre number is 01 700 1755.

In a tweet, @fkabudu, a member of the Feminist Coalition group, explains how protesters can access the help centre.

“For the users, these are the prompt numbers: Press 1 for medical. Press 2 for legal. Press 3 for food and supplies. Press 4, 5, or 6 for mental health emergencies,” the tweet reads.

It was learnt that the online radio platform that was launched by the protesters is to aid coordination of the #EndSARS protests nationwide through effective and timely communication.

The online radio, which is accessible via https://s4.radio.co/s99d55c85b/listen, has programmes and live reports of missing and found #EndSARS protesters, and other updates on the protests across the country.

“Soro Soke,” a Yoruba phrase, which translates as ‘Speak Up,’ has become a slogan for EndSARS campaign in the past few days, after protesters in Lagos State urged Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to ‘soro soke’ while he was addressing the youths.

It has also become metaphor for speaking up against bad governance and corruption.

The bio on the Twitter handle of the station, @Sorosoke247, reads, “24/7 update on all things protest. We are for a better nation powered by value for life and good governance.”
