Like Google and Twitter, Facebook kicks the Niger Delta Avengers out for ‘threats of violence’
Social media platform, Facebook has joined its counterparts, twitter in saying no to vandalism in Nigeria by kicking out the Niger Delta Avengers from using their platform.
Facebook banned the avengers on Wednesday, barely 24 hours after twitter blocked the group on its platform.
A check on their official twitter page, @NDAvengers only reads; “Account suspended! This account has been suspended. Learn more about why Twitter suspends accounts, or return to your timeline.”
The militant group has been using the account to announce attacks it has carried out on oil installations. The group still made an announcement of a fresh attack on a Chevron installation hours before its account on the two platforms were blocked.
According to reports, the group’s activities have reduced Nigeria’s oil production to its lowest level in 30 year.
Spokesman of the Avengers, Mudoch Agbinibo has confirmed the groups’ suspension from both platforms.
Meanwhile the group has warned the general public not to fall for fraudsters taking advantage of its suspended accounts to scam unsuspecting ones.
The warning was issued on the groups website.
