A former Presidential candidate, Adamu Garba and his lawyers have failed to appear in court over the lawsuit against Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey.

Adamu Garba, instituted a $1 billion lawsuit against Twitter and its founder at the Federal High Court Abuja, over his role in the #EndSARS protests.

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.

However, Nigerian lawyer, Temitope Akinyode challenged it by filing a counter-suit adding that the freedom of expression needs to be protected.
