Abuja (Sundiata Post) – The federal government has ordered the Director of Public Prosecution of Federation (DPPF) to begin immediate prosecution of those who violate the Federal Government’s order.
According to EyewitnessMedia, the order was made on Saturday by Attorney General of Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.
The spokesman of the AGF, Umar Gwandu, disclosed this in a statement titled, ‘Twitter ban: Malami orders prosecution of offenders.’
Recall that the Federal Government had on Friday ordered all internet service providers to suspend Twitter. However, many Nigerians have been using the Virtual Private Networks to circumvent the ban.
“Malami directed the DPPF to liaise with the Ministry of Communication and Digital Economy, National Communication Communication and other relevant government agencies to ensure the speedy prosecution of offenders without any further delay.
