Facebook Deletes President Buhari Controversial Civil War Statement

Facebook has deleted President Buhari’s civil war statement for violating Facebook’s Community standards against inciting violence.

He had threatened punishment for regional secessionists blamed for attacks on government buildings.

Buhari, who served in the army stated on Tuesday that many people misbehaving today were too young to remember the deaths and destruction from the civil war.

Facebook has now removed the post from their platform, as a quick check by LailasNews confirmed, as the whole statement, has been removed from the social media platform.

This is coming after we had earlier reported that the content remained on their platform, despite users reporting it. In response to LailasNews, Facebook wrote that President Buhari’s post has been removed from their platform in line with their global policies.
