On October 17, Ms Jane Obiene joined hundreds of protesters in Nigeria’s capital city, Abuja with crutches, despite persistent attacks against protesters by security forces and hired thugs.
Ms Obiene joined the protesters walking for miles to demand an end to police brutality in Nigeria.
Jonathan Odoba in a tweet called her his hero of the day.
“My hero for today was this lady. She walked all through the protest #Endsars.”
Jonathan’s tweet has gained over 33,000 likes and 27,000 retweets.
