Twitter ban by his excellency president Muhammadu Buhari is a measure to maintain peace and harmony in the country, as was stated by Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, who announced the suspension in a statement signed by his Special Assistant Segun Adeyemi that it was because of the persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence.
Recently, the federal government announced for prosecution of anyone using twitter account for violating the country's law.
In this regards, the attorney-general has made it clear that if anyone violates the regulation, that such person will be prosecuted. Considering this, it is the right of the attorney-general to decide who to prosecute.
Malami revealed that the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) by name Adeboye, insisted on using his Twitter account despite the ban on the social media platform by the Nigerian government, therefore he should be persecuted.
