The House of Representatives on Tuesday summoned the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, over the suspension of Twitter in Nigeria by the federal government.
The summon was issued during the plenary of the House as it decided to carry out a probe into the development.
The House mandated its committees on communication, justice, information and culture, national security and intelligence to immediately probe the case of the suspension of the microblogging site.
The minister announced the suspension of Twitter in Nigeria following the deletion of a civil war post by President Muhammadu Buhari.
In it, the president threatened to deal with separatist agitators.
