Instagram Takes Down Adamu Garba’s Account

Instagram has yanked off the official account of Adamu Garba, a
staunch supporter of President Muhammadu Buhari, just hours after
his Crowwe app disappeared from Google’s Play Store.

Garba’s account was taken off Instagram following reports from
multiple users.

“My account was reported by some users and disabled by
Instagram,” Garba tells Peoples Gazette.

Garba has been under fire on Twitter for supporting President
Buhari’s decision to ban Twitter indefinitely.

Nigerians have been using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to
circumvent the ban.

Garba has been inactive on Twitter after the president’s ban, in
an apparent show of support for the decision.

On Monday, June 14, some Twitter users noticed that Crowwe, a
microblogging platform that mimics Twitter and which belongs to
Garba, was no longer on Google’s Play Store, prompting insinuations
that it had been taken down by Google due to a plethora of bad
reviews.

However, Garba, who filed a $1 billion lawsuit against Twitter’s
Jack Dorsey in the wake of the #EndSARS protests against police
brutality in 2020, says Crowwe was taken down to fix a technical
glitch and would be back up in the next couple of hours.

Garba’s Instagram account currently displays the message: “User
not found.”

Garba is a former presidential aspirant and current Chief
Executive Officer of IPI Group. He is a chieftain of the governing
All Progressives Congress (APC).
