The minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has asked Facebook and other social media platforms to stop allowing the proscribed Indigenous

The minister made the demand in Abuja yesterday at a meeting with a team from Facebook.

He said since IPOB had been proscribed and classified as a terrorist organisation, Facebook has no justification for yielding its platform to the organisation to further its campaign of hate and destabilisation of the country. “I have called this meeting to enable us to discuss the increasing use of Facebook by separatists and anarchists, especially those of them based outside the country, to instigate violence and ethnic hatred in Nigeria.

“For whatever reason, they seem to have now chosen Facebook as their platform of choice. And their tools include disinformation, incendiary statements, and hate speech. They use Facebook broadcasts to reach their followers, who are in thousands. They tag those opposed to their violent ways as ‘saboteurs’ who must be attacked, maimed, and killed. They use both English and their local language as it suits them,” Mohammed said.

I prefer if FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, TWITTER etc just strictly regulate the incitive activities of IPOB on their platforms. This is necessary to avoid.... God bless Nigeria.

Is that our problem for now? People were held hostage since in kad. Abj train, yesterday another sets were kidnapped along abj kad. road, it was none of their responsibility to rescue them or make the country safe.
