The Nigeria government has denied stopping people from using Twitter in the country despite announcing the suspension of the operations of the social media platform in the country. The attorney-general of the federation, Abubakar Malami made the claim in a counter-affidavit issued in response to an originating motion filed by human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong. He is suing the government on the legitimacy of enforcing a Twitter suspension in Nigeria. Effiong is seeking nine reliefs, including an order of perpetual injunction restraining the respondents from further suspending, deactivating or banning the operation and accessibility of Twitter or any other social media service in Nigeria.
