Organisers seek N4bn donation as protest continues
As the nationwide protest enters its fourth day, some of the organisers and supporters of the demonstration have set up pages to raise over N4bn through GoFundMe, a popular online crowdfunding platform.
Checks by Sunday PUNCH show that as of Saturday evening, a total of N4.1bn had been benchmarked to be donated through accounts created by three GoFundMe users.
While each of the fundraisers on GoFundMe has their donations protected, Sunday PUNCH noted that funds had been entering into the accounts, as revealed by the green colour indication on the targets.
A fundraiser, โNigerians in the United States of America and Canadaโ as of the time our correspondent monitored it indicated a goal sum of N40,898,750 ($25,000). According to the site, the organiser is located in the state of Washington, US, indicating that the donations would help provide necessary resources for protesters, including medical supplies, transportation, and other essentials.
