The National Broadcasting Commission has directed all broadcast stations in Nigeria to suspend the patronage of Twitter immediately.

Prof. Armstrong Idachaba, Director General of the Agency said this in a Statement on Monday in Abuja.

He noted that it would be unpatriotic for any broadcaster in Nigeria to continue to patronise the suspended Twitter as a source of its information.

Recall that the minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, on Friday last week announced the suspension of Twitter following the decision of the social media giant to delete a tweet by the President, Muhammadu Buhari.
