Popular social media platform, Facebook has shut down the account of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, on the platform.
Crimefacts.news reports that the ban on the account was effected last Thursday.
Facebook however gave a terse explanation on why it shut down the separatist leader’s account.
It read: “Your page has been unpublished. This is because Mazi Nnamdi Kanu goes against our Community Standards on spam”.
In its response, the IPOB public relations department issued a statement accusing Facebook Nigeria of corruption and pandering to the Nigerian government.
The statement which was signed by Comrade Emma Powerful read as follows: “We can confirm that Facebook Nigeria has shut down the page of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. This is not unconnected with the fact that our leader’s page has become a rich resource for those determined to expose the evil regime in Nigeria and enthrone a better life for the masses.
“We mince no words when we say that Facebook Nigeria is more corrupt than the corrupt government they are seeking to protect. Biafra suffered immeasurably as a result of denial of media space in the late 60s; a situation we are not prepared to allow in this 21st century.”
