Twitter, has locked the account of David Hundeyin, an investigative journalist, after he shared the Guinean passport of President-elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Recently, Hundeyin sent Nigerian internet users into hysteria after he posted images of a Guinean diplomatic passport bearing “Bola Ahmed Tinubu” and the President-elect’s photograph on Twitter.
Infuriated by the upload, Tinubu’s followers reported the tweet on the grounds that it attacked their principal’s identity which triggered Twitter to flag the post for deletion.
Also, Hundeyin was locked out of his account for violating Twitter’s policy around personal identifying information.
The investigative journalist revealed he had appealed the suspension and presented a valid argument that Tinubu’s Guinean citizenship was a matter of national and public interest. He doesn’t know when the suspension would be lifted.
He argued he uploaded a document of a public figure, the president-elect of Africa’s biggest economy because it carried great public interest.
In a recent mail sent to Hundeyin, Twitter wrote: “After posting evidence of @officialABAT’s undisclosed dual citizenship and perjurous INEC EC9 declaration, West Africa Weekly founder @DavidHundeyin’s Twitter account has been maliciously reported for “posting private information” and is temporarily locked, tweeted @WestAfricaWeek, a digital publication owned by Mr Hundeyin.
“You may not publish or post other people’s private information without their express authorisation and permission.”
