Social media tech giant, Twitter, has created an emoji with the hashtag:, ‘EndSARS’, and a fist coloured with the green-white-green depicting the colours of Nigerian flag in solidarity with the protest.

The emoji pops after a Twitter user might have typed the #EndSARS word on the compose space.

This is coming after users in the United States, Europe and Africa experienced a downtime on Thursday, October 15, 2020 finding it difficult to send tweets or refreshing their timelines.

The tech firm is taking the solidarity campaign protest to another level after a Nigerian man threatened to sue the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Jack Dorsey for supporting the protest.

The protest which has entered its 10th day has drawn global attention as football stars, entertainers as well as organizations tweeting with the #EndSARS.
