Facebook has deleted President
Buhari’s civil war statement for violating its community standards against
inciting violence.
It would be recalled that the President
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.

has now removed the post from their platform, as the whole statement, has been
removed from the social media platform for violating Community Standards
against inciting violence.
The social media giants
reiterated its commitment to remove any content, from individuals or
organisations that violates Facebook policies.
“In line with our global
policies, we’ve removed a post from President Buhari’s Facebook page for
violating our Community Standards against inciting violence. We remove any

Facebook.” A Facebook Spokesperson
Recall that micro-blogging
platform, Twitter, also deleted Buhari’s tweet where he issued a threat to deal
with “misbehaving” elements in “the language they understand”, while making
reference to Nigeria’s civil war.
