ECOWAS court hears Twitter ban suit Tuesday

Some Nigerians have berated the Federal Government as the ban on the micro-blogging site, Twitter, enters the 30th day today (Monday).

The Federal Government had on June 5 suspended Twitter operations in the country.

Some groups, including the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, dragged the government before the ECOWAS court, which restrained it from arresting Nigerians using the site.

The Deputy Director of SERAP, Kolawole Oluwadare, faulted the ban, adding that the group and others had taken the government to the ECOWAS Court, which ruled that no Nigerian should be arrested.

He added that the main case challenging the legality of the government’s action was slated for hearing on Tuesday.
