His deleted Crowwe app had suffered a similar fate when Twitter users criticised the application on various grounds, including its privacy policy. For instance, critics discovered Mr Garba copied Crowwe’s terms and conditions from Spotify.
The discovery was also verified by Dubawa, a fact-checking platform, to be true.
“Check the Crowwe app’s terms and conditions. It’s the SAME thing as Spotify. They didn’t even bother editing,” said a social media critic. “Like if you click on the hyperlink, it redirects you to Spotify theft. What sort of pangolo app is that?”
