Displeased with the development, Garba had on the same day, threatened to drag the Twitter CEO to court for supporting the protest, adding that #EndSARS has been hijacked as is now a political movement.

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 & financial sponsor to this. https://t.co/slhwmOnCMY

The Nigerian government is waging war on us on ALL fronts. Adamu Garba is in court asking Jack for 1 billion USD. Governors are imposing curfews. Thugs are getting paid to disrupt protests.

All because we asked our own government to stop killing us ?#EndSARS

I want Jack to remotely take that thing seriously and then come with receipts and sue the Nigerian Government, properly.

Sigh.
