Nigerians Still Using Twitter Will Know The Law They’re Violating When Charged by Kewtt(op): 6:39pm On Jun 05, 2021
Nigerians still using Twitter will know the law they’re violating when charged to court – Malami
“At the time we are gathering them (alleged offenders) and assembling them in court, they will get to know which law they are violating,” Mr Gwandu says.
ByPremium Times June 5, 2021 2 min read

The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, on Saturday ordered the prosecution of Nigerians defying the government’s ban on Twitter, but did not state the specific law that is being violated.

Asked which law the AGF intends to invoke to prosecute alleged offenders, his spokesperson, Umar Gwandu, told PREMIUM TIMES that “the alleged violators would get to know in court”.

“We will invite journalists at the time of prosecution, and they will know which laws are used to prosecute. The point is Twitter has been banned. Anybody should not try to use Twitter.

“At the time we are gathering them and assembling them in court, they will get to know which law they are violating,” Mr Gwandu told our reporter after he issued the statement announcing Mr Malami’s prosecution order on Saturday.

When pressed further on the need to tell Nigerians which particular law they are violating by continuing using Twitter, Mr Gwandu said it was the “the federal government laws”.

“Tell Nigerians that the government has banned Twitter and anybody who uses it will be penalised. The point is they violated the ban. They are violating the federal government laws,” he said.

Malami should go and sleep....




Buhari tweeted and violated a rule of the platform and his tweet was deleted.... it was never anybody's business...Why are they dragging everyone into their nonsense?


Trump's handler was banned and deleted from Twitter community and USA didn't threaten it's citizens or ban Twitter back...


If Twitter had banned Buhari nko?

I feel this whole thing is because, jack said he doesn't know Buhari and doesn't know which country his leading...

That line can be devastating... Perhaps, Buhari thought jack knew him and just maybe he thought he was that popular....

They have been running from pillar to post crying after the ban

They create thread "advising" why VPN is not good

They create thread saying buhari can ban VPN too

They create thread saying anyone using VPN which they can't ban can be tracked

They create thread saying buhari should be feared when he implement ban yet he can't enforce the ban

They create thread saying tweeter doesn't care about us but they the jihadists care

They create thread with paid posts on Instagram instigating violence and citing such as the reason for tweeter ban when it was actually because buhari comment was deleted
