Nigerian youths agitating for total overhaul of the Nigeria Police Force and end to police brutality have launched an online radio, with the trending slang, Soro Soke, a Yoruba sentence which means Speak up.
The channel, through effective and timely communication, is expected to aid the coordination of #EndSARS protests nationwide.
The station came up on Sunday, with programmes and live reports of missing and found #EndSARS protesters were escalated on the radio, https://s4.radio.co/s99d55c85b/listen.
Songs calling for a reformed Nigeria were also heard on the station.
Soro Soke is also a metaphor for all Nigerians to speak up against bad governance and resist corrupt leaders.
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.”
The youths are demanding for the release of all arrested protesters, justice for all deceased victims of police brutality and appropriate compensation for their families. They also want increased salaries for police officers as well as the establishment of an independent body to oversee the investigation and prosecution of all reports of police misconduct.
