In solidarity with Twitter which operations were suspended by the Federal Government of Nigeria couple of hours back, Facebook has deleted President Buhari’s civil war statement for violating its community standards against inciting violence.
President Buhari had threatened punishment for regional secessionists blamed for attacks on government buildings.
Buhari, who served in the army stated, on Tuesday, that many people misbehaving today were too young to remember the deaths and destruction from the civil war.
A quick check shows that Facebook removed the post from its platform.
The entire statement had been removed from the social media platform for violating Community Standards against inciting violence.
