Adamu Garba Absent In Court During Case Against Twitter CEO

Garba had dragged Dorsey to court for endorsing and supporting the recent #EndSARS protest in Nigeria.

Former presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba, has absented himself from court in a suit against Twitter Chief Executive Officer, Jack Dorsey.

Garba had dragged Dorsey to court for endorsing and supporting the recent #EndSARS protest in Nigeria.

Tope Akinyode, a lawyer, who joined the suit to defend Twitter, revealed that both Garba and his lawyer were not in court, forcing the judge to adjourn the case.

Announcing his joining of the suit against Twitter and its CEO, Akinyode said,

I've filed court processes to challenge @adamugarba's lawsuit against @jack and @Twitter. Jack's support for Nigeria's cause is commendable. We'll protect our freedom of expression and resist the move to ban Twitter in Nigeria.

In the notice of joinder filed in the case, Adamu Garba v. The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and nine others, Suit No: FHC/ABJ/CS/1391/2020 and sighted by SaharaReporters, Akinyode said he was an avid user of the online microblogging platform, Twitter, adding that it had been a significant avenue for him and other Nigerians to air their opinions and exercise their freedom of expression.

The lawyer said his tweets and that of many other Nigerians have formed a bedrock of public discourses, which have shaped and are still shaping government decisions.

Garba had instituted a $1bn lawsuit against Twitter and its founder, Dorsey, at the Federal High Court Abuja, over his role in the #EndSARS protests, which had led to violence across the country, resulting in the destruction of properties and loss of lives.

Jack was accused of actively supporting the funding of the #EndSARS protests across the nation as disclosed by Adamu Garba through a series of tweet posted on his official Twitter handle on Tuesday, October 20, 2020.

The motion on notice was brought pursuant to order II Rules 1, 2, 3 of the Fundamental Rights (Enforcement Procedure) Rules, 2009 and Sections 34(1), 35(1) and 41(1), and 43 of the 1999 constitution.

Aboki

The case have been adjourned.

Here is his reaction,

I never see person wey mumu reach Adamu

Meanwhile, chat me up if you need maca root powder for honey/sex enhancing effects, low sperm count, infertility etc.

Clown.

Sparogatively, he knows their is No case!

It should be made known that the previously unknown former presidential aspirant only filed the lawsuit to seek for cheap favour and 'familiarity' from the presidency.

Ada MU with an additional MU to his name would reveal how clever he is.

Adamu, Okeke and Lawal Gusau should be treated as enemies of Nigeria!

Lol... Adamu u still deh wait for alert from FG to prosecute the case

Imagine suing someone and sleeping off on the day of court hearing. That shows that we are in a dysfunctional setting.
