On Monday, twitter took down the handle of militant group, Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), and while it did not specifically give reasons for the action, some of the organisation’s policies directly conflict with the ideals of NDA.

The group has engaged in at least three policies which twitter says it will delete accounts.

Here are three policies of twitter that the group flouted:

[size=15pt]VIOLENT THREATS[/size]

You may not make threats of violence or promote violence, including threatening or promoting terrorism. NDA has threatened to resort to violence if the government, oil companies and their service firms repair pipeline they have blown up.

[size=15pt]HARASSMENT[/size]

You may not incite or engage in the targeted abuse or harassment of others. One of the factors that Twitter considers when evaluating abusive behaviour is inflammatory content which is likely to evoke a strong negative reaction or cause harm. NDA had, via its handle, threatened to blow up pipelines so as to cause economic sabotage and announced blowing up pipeline.

[size=15pt]TERRORISM[/size]

Organisations or individuals associated with promoting hate, criminal, or terrorist-related content. While the NDA has claimed to be fighting a just cause and agitating for better conditions for the region, its activities, including blowing up pipelines are criminal according to Nigerian laws.

Borno and yobe states are gradually healing from their past wounds, their tears are drying up; but guess what, one particular region is currently going up in flames even before our very eyes.

AngelAhnie:

Destined2win:
I think twitter even delayed in taking that handle down. After 2 tweets, the management of twitter should be able to know whether a handle should be taken down or not
