We strongly condemn the arrest of peaceful protesters against bad governance, insecurity & abuse of human rights.
PROTEST is a FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT of every Nigerian, and must be respected.

I am deeply concerned to learn that the Nigerian government has announced that it is suspending twitter. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-57363779 Many Nigerian accounts are doing great work for transparency and access to justice.

#TwitterBanInNigeria is against the fundamental rights of citizens & democratic voices demanding transparency & accountability in Nigeria.
We urge the @NigeriaGov to reverse the ban and respect freedom of expression, guard civic spaces & allow free access of information.
