[Reuters]Nigeria said on Friday it had indefinitely suspended Twitter's activities, two days after the social media giant removed a post from President Muhammadu Buhari that threatened to punish regional secessionists. He did not spell out what form the suspension would take or give more details on the undermining activities. Twitter's website and app continued to work in Nigeria on Friday in tests conducted by Reuters. Buhari's post threatening to punish groups blamed for attacks on government buildings was removed for violating Twitter's "abusive behaviour" policy, the company said on Wednesday.
