Twitter Suspension: I’m number three on list of defaulters – Dino Melaye

Former Senator representing the Kogi Central Senatorial District, in the 8th National Assembly, Senator Dino Melaye has identified himself as the number three defaulter of the Federal Governments ban on Twitter.

The FG had last week suspended the microblogging platform for allegedly allowing contents that are capable of threatening the corporate existence of Nigerians.

However, many Nigerians have been accessing the platform via the use of Virtual Private Network, VPN.

The Senior Pastor of Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye tweeted on Monday, stating that his church will not comply with the FG’s ban.
