Actions taken by the Nigerian government should not suppress the rights of Nigerians – UK

On Friday, the United Kingdom Government kicked against the indefinite suspension slammed on Twitter by President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government.

Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information and Culture, had explained that Nigerians carried out activities inimical to the corporate existence of Nigeria on Twitter, hence announcing its suspension.

The UK government reacted through its High Commissioner in Nigeria, Gill Atkinson who said Nigerians have the right to freedom of speech and the government must not suppress it.
