Former Nigeria presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba, has withdrawn his case against Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who he claims supported the #EndSARS protests.
Dorsey joined other famous names around the world in lending their voices and platforms against police brutality. In the wake of the violence that succeeded the protests, Garba sued the Twitter boss for allegedly meddling in Nigeria’s internal affairs and sponsoring the protests. “It’ll do you a lot more good if you stay away from Nigerian Politics,” Garba, a member of Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) tweeted in October.“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 & financial sponsor to this.” However, on Monday, Garba instructed his lawyers to withdraw the case despite initially boasting of certain victory in court. He thereafter instituted a $1 billion suit against Jack Dorsey at the Federal High Court, Abuja, over alleged sponsorship of the #EndSARS protest across the country.
