Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari nade a tweet referring to the 1967-70 Civil War in the southeastern Biafra region that killed 1 million people. [Reuters]Twitter removed on Wednesday a post by Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari threatening punishment for regional secessionists blamed for attacks on government buildings. The social media firm said Buhari's tweet, referring to the 1967-70 Civil War in the southeastern Biafra region that killed 1 million people, violated its "abusive behaviour" policy leading to a 12-hour suspension of his account. SEPARATISTSAuthorities have blamed a banned separatist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), and what police call its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network. "If Mr. President anywhere in the world feels very bad and concerned about a situation, he is free to express such views."
