Police Arrests Social Media User Who Tweeted ‘Let’s Kill All The Igbos’
The Osun police command has arrested a man who called for the killing of Igbos on social media.
Adesogba Adekusibe, 28, had on May 18 tweeted: “Let’s kill all the Igbos. Let’s flush them out of Yoruba lands. I hate these people with passion. They are violent people. They are the worst. They hate us. Let’s hate them without holding back.”
Mr Adekusibe’s outburst sparked widespread condemnation from Nigerians.
On Friday, police spokesman Olumuyiwa Adejobi shared a statement indicating the arrest of Mr Adekusibe for “violating social media policy on hate speech.” Nigerians however knocked the police for being hypocritical, having looked away when influential persons in the ruling APC cast similar ethnic slur against the Igbos.
