Jack Dorsey support for #EndSARS protesters was heavily criticised by a former Presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba, who is a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Garba threatened to sue Dorsey if the protests continue to escalate.
He tweeted, “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.”

However, many on Twitter lambasted Adamu for his position, insisting that he should count himself lucky that Dorsey, who is the ‘landlord’ of Twitter, had allowed him to continue using the platform.
The words, ‘landlord’, ‘Adamu’ and ‘Jack’ have been trending on Twitter for the last three hours.
Youths have been protesting against police brutality and killings for over one week, grounding economic activities in major parts of the country.
