As a follow-up to his earlier threat to prosecute users of the microblogging platform, Nigeria’s Justice Minister, Abubakar Malami, flaunted the deactivation of his Twitter account on Facebook Tuesday.
Attached to his “My Twitter Account Deactivated” post, however, is a screenshot of the deactivation, which also contained a couple of icons including one used to trade the prohibited cryptocurrency.
Checks by PREMIUM TIMES showed that while making the screenshot on his phone, Mr Malami had LATOKEN, a crypto trading app, on.
The federal government recently suspended the operations of Twitter, a microblogging platform, after accusing it of undermining Nigeria’s existence. Chiemelie Ezeobi reports that the avalanche of reactions, including that the diplomatic community, projected the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration as intolerant of opposing views with sheer disregard for freedom of speech, a claim the presidency has refuted
These are certainly not the best of times for Nigeria as the negatives have drowned out of the positives of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration. From kidnapping for ransom to banditry, insurgency, piracy, destruction of public properties and even threats of secession, the nation has been embroiled in one challenge or the nation, with no region spared.
