Twitter has reacted to the suspension of its operations by the Federal Government of Nigeria.

Sarah Hart, Twitter’s Senior Policy Communications Manager for Europe, Middle East and Africa, in a statement issued on Friday said the micro-blogging platform is investigating the development as it expresses “deep concern”.

The statement read: “The announcement made by the Nigerian Government that they have suspended Twitter’s operations in Nigeria is deeply concerning.

“We’re investigating and will provide updates when we know more.”
