The Nigerian government had suspended operations of the micro-blogging site last week, after it took down a tweet from President Muhammadu Buhari.

The platform explained that the post violated its “abusive behaviour” rules.

However, the Buhari government insisted Twitter was suspended, because it was often used for activities that threaten the “corporate existence” of the country.

VAM News reports that there is a nationwide protest to decry the deteriorating economy, security challenges ravaging the country particularly the incessant abduction.

There was a protest in Osun, Oyo, Lagos, Abuja and Ondo.

Also in Abuja, some of the protesters who stormed the Gudu Junction in the FCT, clashed with security operatives.
