Some
Nigerians have given credit to the management of Twitter for deactivating the
official twitter account of Niger Delta Avengers @NDAvengers, one of Nigeria’s
anti-government militant groups.
Before now,
the group’s twitter timeline served as a platform for spreading
information while advancing their cause, along with its website, www.nigerdeltaavengers.org
Niger Delta
Avengers are responsible for the recent spate of attacks on pipeline
installations in the Niger Delta region, blowing up five pipelines between Friday and Sunday.
Any attempt
to access the handle is greeted with the message, “Account suspended. This
account has been suspended. Learn more about why Twitter suspends accounts, or
return to your timeline.”
The group
also had their official website www.nigerdeltavengers.com brought down in June
before a new one was launched www.nigerdeltaavengers.org
