Micro-blogging site, Twitter has blocked the account of Nigerian investigative journalist, David Hundeyin after he published the Guinean international passport of Nigeria’s president-elect, Mr Bola Tinubu.
On Sunday, David Hundeyin, shared images of a Guinean diplomatic passport bearing “Bola Ahmed Tinubu” on his Twitter account. The passport also carried Mr Tinubu’s image believed to have been issued in October 2015
The revelation of Tinubu’s undisclosed dual citizenship has since generated controversy across the country and beyond, hence, Tinubu’s supporters reported Hundeyin’s account to Twitter management for allegedly “posting private information.”
Hundeyin confirmed the blocking of his Twitter account on Monday via his news platform, West Africa Weekly.
“After posting evidence of @officialABAT’s undisclosed dual citizenship and perjurious INEC EC9 declaration, West Africa Weekly founder @DavidHundeyin’s Twitter account has been maliciously reported for “posting private information” and is temporarily locked.”
While reacting to the locking of Hundeyin’s account, another popular investigative journalist, @PIDOMNIGERIA said, “Once you put out secret information against corrupt APC officials in government, or off government, their agbado mob will be deployed to report your twitter account en masse, since they have nothing as response to your expose.”
