Twitter has suspended the account of Ms Carolyn Uchenna Okorafor, Principal Secretary to Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports the suspension of Ms Okorafor is coming as the microblogging social media platform strives to make amends with the Nigerian government.
Recall the Nigerian government suspended the use of Twitter in the country, stressing that the platform’s activity was in violation of public interest.
The Nigerian government also stated that Twitter’s activity negates some provisions of the Terrorism Act as well as the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA).
Following the suspension of the platform, Twitter has made several moves to comply, including suspending several persons suspected to have violated rules of the platform.
The latest being the suspension of the account of the Principal Secretary to Nnamdi Kanu.
TNG reports Ms Okorafor, who practices law in Texas and travels with Kanu as Principal Secretary tweets under the @Carolynkimbrly handle.
Meanwhile, the social media platform had approached the Nigerian government over the ban on Twitter, and a committee had been set up for a truce to unsuspend the platform.
