Information on the page showed that the target was to raise ₦ 1,500,000 in 30 days but that was surpassed within three hours.

A Twitter user, Aproko Doctor @aproko_doctor, had shared the image of Obiene, asking Nigerians to donate through a link.

The image showed Obiene marching with hundreds of protesters bearing crutches.

He explained that Jane had been unemployed since 2013 over her disability among other reasons.

He tweeted, “This is Jane. She’s been unemployed since 2013 partly because of her disability, she came out in the #EndSARS protests and we need to help.
