Twitter says FG’s suspension is deeply concerning.., Discloses Next Action in Nigeria

Twitter has expressed “deep concern” over the federal government’s decision to suspend its operations in Nigeria.

Sarah Hart, Twitter’s Senior Policy Communications Manager for Europe, Middle East and Africa, who made this known in a statement, said the company is investigating the development.

“The announcement made by the Nigerian Government that they have suspended Twitter’s operations in Nigeria is deeply concerning.

“We’re investigating and will provide updates when we know more,” the statement said.

Recall that the federal government suspended Twitter’s operations in a statement on Friday.

Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information, said the government was forced to act because of “the persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence”.

VAM News had earlier reported that the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has condemned the suspension of Twitter’s Operations in Nigeria and called on the government of President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately rescind the suspension within 48 hours or face legal action.
