Facebook says it removed the page of Nigerian separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu for violating its rules on harm and hate speech.
Mr Kanu s page was removed for repeated violation of its community rules, the social networking site told the BBC.
He had posted a video of a militia group attacking and killing cattle in a herders settlement.
He also used the live broadcast to accuse herders of destroying farmlands in eastern Nigeria.
The conflict between herders and other groups is currently one of Nigeria s hottest political issues.
Mr Kanu leads the Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob), which campaigns for independence for Nigeria s south-eastern region, where the ethnic Igbo people form the majority.
