Twitter has taken down a tweet by Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
In the post, Kanu vowed that soldiers sent to the South East by the Nigerian Government will die.
He stated this in response to comments made by President Muhammadu Buhari, saying he would clamp down on those destroying government facilities in the South-East, had warned the army to keep off the region.
Kanu tweeted: “It’s not for the living to respond to the dead but given the lack of reasoning prevalent in the #Zoo Nigeria, I wish to assure @GarShehu, the Jihadi midget @elrufai & that Fulani lapdog Femi Adesina that any army they send to #Biafraland will die there. None will return alive”.
And nearly 24 hours after the Nigerian government announced a ban on Twitter, the platform has deleted the ‘inciting’ tweet from Kanu.
Twitter deleted the comment on Saturday, saying it violates its rules.
