The government had on June 4, 2021, announced the suspension of Twitter two days after the platform deleted a tweet by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), which many users found offensive.

Three weeks after the suspension, on June 22, the President set up a committee consisting of five ministers to negotiate with Twitter.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, was appointed as the head of the committee. Others appointed include the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami; the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyema; the Minister for Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola(SAN), the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo (SAN),and the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN).

However, nearly three weeks after the committee was set up, it was learnt that the negotiations had yet to begin.

Malami’s spokesman, Dr Umar Gwandu, however, said all was set for negotiations to begin.

He said, “The negotiations have not started yet. The process for negotiation has started by the formation of the Federal Government’s committee.”

“The process is ongoing. The public will be properly informed through the media at the appropriate time when resolutions are reached.”

An inquiry, which was sent to Twitter on Wednesday, had not yet been responded to as of press time.https://punchng.com/buhari-ministers-twitter-yet-to-begin-talks-on-ban/

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Hakeem Odumosu, on Tuesday October 6, paid a visit to the family of late Favour Ikechukwu, who was gang-raped to death by some unscrupulous elements on 30th September 2020 by 8.30pm, at Olanrewaju Street, Ejigbo area of Lagos State.

IgbereTV reported that Favour was out on an errand for her mother when she was abducted and gang-raped.

The Commissioner of Police, who delivered the condolence message to the parent of the deceased, on behalf of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Muhammed Abubakar Adamu, assured the family that the Nigeria Police will do the needful to apprehend every culprit in the barbaric act and get justice for Favour.

Odumosu, while promising the family of police's constant support, directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Criminal Investigation Department, DCP Yetunde Longe, who accompanied him, to deploy additional detectives from her office to go after the fleeing culprits and prosecute them as soon as possible.

In another development, the Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, seized the opportunity to address the residents of Ejigbo Local Council Development Authority in Lagos State and commissioned the refurbished and newly constructed office complex at the Divisional Headquarters Ejigbo, Lagos State.
