Twitter Deletes Buhari’s ‘Civil War’ Tweet

Social Media giant Twitter has deleted a civil war tweet made by President Muhammadu Buhari citing violation of Twitter rules.

The tweet deleted contained a threat by Buhari to Nigerians “misbehaving”. The President had said he would treat such people in “the language they understand”.

Buhari spoke about the civil war experience and threatened to deal with those “bent on destroying” Nigeria through “insurrection.”

“Those of us in the fields for 30 months, who went through the war, will treat them in the language they understand,” he had said.

However, Twitter has now deleted the message on Wednesday following widespread condemnation of the tweet.
