Nigerians have intensified calls for the prosecution of the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami for bypassing the order banning Twitter operations in Nigeris, using VPN to deactivate his Twitter account.
Malami had threatened to prosecute Twitter users after FG placed a ban on the operations of the microblogging site.
Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Pantami also violated Buhari’s Twitter ban by bypassing all the tech walls to log on to his Twitter account to deactivate it.
Recall Twitter ban became effective from Saturday, a day after Information Minister, Lai Mohammed announced the dramatic ban.
Malami had said the suspension that was not backed by any known law, must be complied with.
He had announced on Tuesday that he had deactivated his Twitter account.
He announced the deactivation on his Facebook page with a screenshot of his activity.
How did he do it without violating the ban?
The disclosure attracted over 10,000 comments by Tuesday night, as many wondered how he deactivated the account, except via the VPN backdoor.
