4:08Now PlayingNigeria's government says it's suspending Twitter indefinitely, after the company deleted a controversial tweet from the country's president, Muhammadu Buhari.

In the tweet, Buhari threatened to punish members of a secessionist movement in the country's southeast. Nigeria's information ministry accused Twitter of double standards – in ignoring violent messages from a separatist leader.
The country's information minister Lai Mohammed questioned twitter's actions labeling them as 'very suspect.'
