fear of criticism led to social media ban

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, says the only way to avert a possible repeat of the latest incident that led to the looting and vandalization of public infrastructure and private facilities by irate youths across Nigeria over the Lekki shootings in Lagos is to regulate the social media sphere.

Mohammed disclosed this after his on-the-spot assessment of the damage done to the facilities of Television Continental, TVC, and the Nations Newspapers both located in Lagos when some angry youths stormed their premises last week Wednesday.
