Do You Know! Government Can’t Arrest Anybody For Using Twitter? (Read This)

Posted by E.L.E.X on June 23 2021 under News









The Economic Community of West African State, ECOWAS, Court of Justice has ruled against the Federal Government of Nigeria on the suspension of Twitter, saying the app is a fundamental right.

The ECOWAS Court also ruled that the Federal Government cannot arrest or prosecute anybody for using Twitter.

Socio-Economic Rights And Accountability Project, SERAP, had, on Sunday, released a statement that it had dragged President Muhammadu Buhari and the Federal Government to court for placing a ban on Twitter.

The FG, in defence, told ECOWAS Court in a document made available to Vanguard that it suspended the service of Twitter Inc. in compliance with the relevant provision of its domestic laws. “The suspension was premised on reasons of national interest and national security of Nigeria.”

It also stated that the suspension of the operation of Twitter in Nigeria has nothing to do with the account of individual Twitter users in Nigeria.

The FG also challenged the capacity of the court to sit on the subject, stating that:-

“This Honourable court lacks the jurisdiction to determine the criminalization of an act under Nigerian domestic laws.”
