A former Nigerian presidential aspirant, Senator Adamu Garba has finally sued Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey, for supporting the ongoing protest against the extrajudicial activities of the now-defunct Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in Nigeria.
KanyiDaily recalls that last week Adamu Garba had threatened to take legal action against Jack Dorsey after the Twitter CEO declared his support for the #EndSARS protest and solicited for bitcoin donations towards the cause.
The former senator warned Jack to stay away from Nigerian Politics, saying he would drag the Twitter CEO to court if the protest continue to evolve into disorder.
In series of tweets on Monday, Garba said that Jack should be ready to meet him in court for meddling in Nigeria’s business, which according to him, has led to breaking of law and order in the country.
Garba has finally dragged Jack Dorsey before a Federal High Court in Abuja for “violatating the international principles of nationhood & democracy, by meddling into local affairs.”
According to the court documents shared on his Twitter page, Garba is asking Dorsey to pay a fine of $1bn in favour of Nigeria as compensation for loss of lives, properties and inconvenience as a result of his support for funding the #EndSARS protest.
“Dear @jack. It’ll do you a lot more good if you stay away from Nigerian Politics. You should know that the so-called #EndSARS protest have transformed into political agitation, capable of breaking law & order in our country. You should not be a moral and financial sponsor to this.
“This is Nigeria; most of the demands initially presented were attended to by the responsible authorities. SARS no longer exists in this country. Your support for a disbanded entity was a needless interference. We cannot allow killings again in Nigeria in the name of protests.
“I understand that this may play well to your business, you have more content, more people and more activity on your platform, but to us is about life, peace and security of our dear country, we cannot allow you to be part of the people sponsoring disorder. We need peace and prosperity.
“I can see you are even sharing a link for people to donate money for this protest, an event capable of escalation beyond our already overstretched security management. If this protest continues to evolve into disorder (hopefully not) as a Nigerian citizen, we’ll meet in court.”
KanyiDaily recalls that Jack Dorsey had also created an #EndSARS Twitter emoji for Nigerian youths’ protesting against the extrajudicial activities of the now-defunct SARS.
