Twitter had Wednesday deleted President Muhammadu Buhari’s tweet posted Tuesday where he threatened to deal with secessionists “in the language they understand”.

The controversial tweet which was widely criticized by twitter users read: “Many of those misbehaving today are too young to be aware of the destruction and loss of lives that occurred during the Nigerian Civil War. Those of us in the fields for 30 months, who went through the war, will treat them in the language they understand.”

The federal government had accused Twitter of taking sides and said its was suspicious of the micro blogging site’s role in the agitations of IPOB for Biafa.

Meanwhile, Nigerians are quickly adopting Virtual Private Networks as an alternative to gain access, following the suspension of Twitter at midnight on Friday.

The Virtual Private Networks (VPN) enables will enable Nigerians access the social media platform by bypassing the restrictions effected by the government.

Some free VPNs listed to enable Nigerians access Twitter include;
Windscribe
USA VPN

PIA
IPvanish
Hotspot Shield VPN & Proxy
