Twitter has suspended the accounts of several Nigerian influencers in what appears to be a punishment for violating its rules.
This is as Twitter accounts of over fifteen influencers became inaccessible as some other users noticed the suspension late on Monday night.
“Twitter suspends accounts which violate the Twitter Rules,” the profile pages of these suspended accounts showed.
It was further gathered that the suspension may not be unconnected to the influencers promoting a controversial trend, which must have violated some of twitter rules.
Many other accounts outside Nigeria were also suspended indefinitely for involving in a coordinated online campaign to obstruct justice.
A Twitter user, @OdogwuAnicah said: “Danny walter, Tife, Volqx, Lamar, Uncle Mohamz, Pamilerin, Valhalla, Four eyed Edo Boy all got suspended.
“Mbah and Bisi got suspended too. Including @JustKelechi @Yucee_ @Divineze @ogaKnowledge, @AimThaMachine_, @UgwunnaEjikem @FestusGreen, @CO_Chiamaka @Anambra_girl,” he added.
It would be recalled that in 2019, Twitter also suspended accounts of some social media influencers ahead of the 2019 general elections.
Badmus Hakeem (Tweets @Bhadoosky), Jokunle (@Jokunle), Ani Nomso (@ani_nomso), Shawnife (@Shawnife_), Official Bmax (@OfficialBmax), Uche Kush (@UcheKush_), Lazy Writa (@LazyWrita), Rouvafe (@Rouvafe), Abdulaxis (@iam_abdulaxis), Switchme, Enekem Greg (@EnekemGreg) were among those suspended.
