Adamu Garba, a former presidential aspirant under the All Progressives Congress (APC) has petitioned the Federal Government of Nigeria to shut down Twitter, stopping the microblogging platform from operating in any part of the country.

The former APC presidential aspirant, who joined the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) in the petition, also asked a Federal High Court in Abuja to slam a USD1 billion fine on the microblogging platform for what he said is compensation for loss of lives and properties, and for convenience.

He accused Jack Dorsey, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Twitter in the petition obtained by TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) of gross abuse of privilege, saying the Twitter CEO used his platform to instigate a protest he said has now turned into a breakdown of law and order in Nigeria.
