Nearly 24 hours after the Nigerian government announced a ban on the activities of Twitter, the popular microblogging platform has deleted ‘inciting’ tweets from Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a separatist group agitating for the Republic of Biafra.

In the controversial tweet, the IPOB leader vowed to unleash terror on Nigerian soldiers deployed to the South-east. He also used derogatory words to describe some government officials.

“It’s not for the living to respond to the dead but given the lack of reasoning prevalent in the #Zoo Nigeria, I wish to assure @GarShehu (Garba Shehu) , the Jihadi midget @elrufai (Nasir El-Rufai) & that Fulani lapdog Femi Adesina that any army they send to #Biafraland will die there. None will return alive,” Mr Kanu wrote via his handle on Wednesday.

Messrs Adesina and Shehu are both presidential aides while Mr El-Rufai is the current Governor of Kaduna State and a member of Nigeria’s ruling party, APC.

The tweet was deleted on Saturday with the social media platform saying it violates its rules.

The deletion was done a day after the federal government suspended the activities of Twitter in Nigeria accusing it of undermining the country’s corporate existence.

Announcing the ban on Friday, Nigeria’s information minister, Lai Mohammed, ordered the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to immediately commence the process of licensing social media platforms in Nigeria.

Following the ban, which was effected by telecommunication firms based on a directive by the government, Nigerians have been denied access to the microblogging platform and can only access it by bypassing domain restrictions through alternative mediums.

WHO IS BAD, NNAMDI KANU OR BUHARI?

The fear of BUHARI is the beginning of wisdom.

THE OP IS JUST LIKE BUHARI "ANTIQUATED REASONING"

NEWS OF YESTERYEARS...NA IM THIS ZOMBIE DEY REJOICE ABOUT...

It's surely not the best of days for our dear Quota System!
It must be overwhelmingly frustrating to watch Buhari, their tribal tin god being tossed around like spoilt tomatoes. They deified the inebriated mutant and we made sure his presidency was an epic fail! We messed him up...., Big Time! Next politician from the arid North to ever smell Aso Rock, that's if any would be allowed after this, will never toy with the idea of drawing the ire of the people from the east.

That's what the braveness and boldness of Buhari can do.If not, how can you delete the message of the president of the world most populous black country and leave that of a terrorist (cownu)?..
