The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Court of Justice in Abuja, today barred the Nigerian Government and its agents from harassing, penalizing, arresting, or prosecuting anyone in Nigeria who uses Twitter, pending the outcome of the action.

 

According to Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), “the ECOWAS ruling signifies that No one would be sanctioned, harassed, intimidated, arrested, or prosecuted for using Twitter in Nigeria”.

 

“It further entails that tech companies must immediately restore people’s access to Twitter as a matter of human right,” the human rights group stated.
