Nigerians still using Twitter will know the law they’re violating when charged to court – Malami
“At the time we are gathering them (alleged offenders) and assembling them in court, they will get to know which law they are violating,” Mr Gwandu says.

The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, on Saturday ordered the prosecution of Nigerians defying the government’s ban on Twitter, but did not state the specific law that is being violated.

Asked which law the AGF intends to invoke to prosecute alleged offenders, his spokesperson, Umar Gwandu, told PREMIUM TIMES that “the alleged violators would get to know in court”.

“We will invite journalists at the time of prosecution, and they will know which laws are used to prosecute. The point is Twitter has been banned. Anybody should not try to use Twitter.

“At the time we are gathering them and assembling them in court, they will get to know which law they are violating,” Mr Gwandu told our reporter after he issued the statement announcing Mr Malami’s prosecution order on Saturday.

When pressed further on the need to tell Nigerians which particular law they are violating by continuing using Twitter, Mr Gwandu said it was the “the federal government laws”.

“Tell Nigerians that the government has banned Twitter and anybody who uses it will be penalised. The point is they violated the ban. They are violating the federal government laws,” he said.

Game on.... I think this government is confused.

It's like your head is doing overheating, useless goat, I won't blame you its your leader I'll blame

Malami.....stop talking trash.

I'm using twitter, come my house arrest me. Mumu government.

Gworo republic of Nigeria.

Because you want to save your face and pride, you now make law overnight. Shame

Even though i don't like the ban, I comply.

No be this kind government person go dey do stubbornness for.

The protesters that tried it, we know wetin do them.

Malami should go and sleep....




Buhari tweeted and violated a rule of the platform and his tweet was deleted.... it was never anybody's business...Why are they dragging everyone into their nonsense?


Trump's handler was banned and deleted from Twitter community and USA didn't threaten it's citizens or ban Twitter back...


If Twitter had banned Buhari nko?

I feel this whole thing is because, jack said he doesn't know Buhari and doesn't know which country his leading...

That line can be devastating... Perhaps, Buhari thought jack knew him and just maybe he thought he was that popular....

Lol premium times is even tweeting it

This junta has become a laughing stock to the world

You banned twitter now you are grasping at straws begging people to comply with your jihad


I am using VPN come and arrest me in my house

shameful

God go punish them!

So all of this started because one man's ego was hurt? Bubu must really have self-esteem issues.

Between Malami and Garba Shehu, I don't know who is more stupid.

Do you want to fix Nigeria ?, more than 70% of Nigerians should buy guns. When you see those clowns in uniform, take them out

Shameless men.
Twitter punished you bcus you did nonsense.
Oga serve your punishment in peace and don't involve others in your mess.

And premium times actually shared the news via same Twitter.

Charged to which court? The one on strike??

This same man wants to contest for presidency in 2023.

May God punish those who brought this govt upon us.
