Just In – FG Suspends Twitter Activities In the Country

The federal government of Nigeria has announced the indefinite suspension of operations of microblogging app Twitter in the country.

This comes after the application deleted a tweet made by the president, Muhammadu Buhari for being in violation of the apps rules, a move described by the minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed as being capable of undermining the countries corporate existence.

The announcement was made via twitter through the verified account of the Federal ministry of Information and Culture @FMICNigeria . The account said that the minister had made the announcement in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday, June 4.
