When charged in court, Nigerians who continue to use Twitter will be aware of the law they are breaking —Malami
On Saturday, June 5, Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, ordered the prosecution of Nigerians who defy the government’s Twitter ban, but did not specify which law is being broken.
When asked which law the AGF planned to use to prosecute any violators, Umar Gwandu, the AGF’s spokesperson, informed Premium Times that “the suspected violators would find out in court.”
“At the moment of prosecution, we will invite journalists, and they will be aware of the legislation that will be used to prosecute. The point is that Twitter is no longer available. Anyone should avoid attempting to use Twitter.

They will learn the law they are breaking when we are gathering them and assembling them in court.
The government has outlawed Twitter, and anyone caught using it will be prosecuted.
The key is that they disobeyed the prohibition. They are breaking the laws of the federal government,” he stated.
