Twitter's operations in Nigeria have been suspended indefinitely by the Nigerian government.
The following is a statement from the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed's office, announcing the suspension:
''The Federal Government has suspended, indefinitely, the operations of the microblogging and social networking service, Twitter, in Nigeria.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, announced the suspension in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday, citing the persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria's corporate existence.
The Minister said the Federal Government has also directed the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to immediately commence the process of licensing all OTT and social media operations in Nigeria.''
This suspension comes after the site removed President Buhari's tweets a few days ago.
