Aishaโ€™s deactivation of her account comes hours after the federal government announced that it would suspend the operations of Twitter in the country.

Lai Mohammed, minister of information, had announced the โ€œindefiniteโ€ suspension of Twitterโ€™s operations in the country earlier on Friday.

According to the minister, the social media platform was engaging in activities that โ€œundermine Nigeriaโ€™s existenceโ€.

Although the minister did not state exactly what activities had led to Twitterโ€™s suspension on Friday, the microblogging platform had deleted a post by President Muhammadu Buhari which made reference to the Civil War.

In post on Twitter on Tuesday, the president had condemned the attacks on government facilities in the country, and citing a reference to the civil war experience, threatened to treat those โ€œbent on destroyingโ€ Nigeria โ€œthrough insurrectionโ€ in โ€œa language they understandโ€.

Defending Buhari, the information minister had condemned the deletion of the presidentโ€™s post and accused Twitter of โ€œdouble standardโ€.
