….Used VPN to deactivate Twitter
It was a case of failure to lead by example as the Attorney-General of the Federation Abubakar Malami (SAN) also violated the law he initiated banning usage of the Tweeter Handle as he only deactivated his Twitter account on Tuesday.
This is coming almost a week after he asked Nigerians to do same.
But will he also gave his own trial.by breaking own rule?

This move though late,is in solidarity with the Federal Government’s suspension of the operations of the micro blogging and social networking service, Twitter.
Report say he had to download the banned VPN app before he could delete his account as the Saturday midnight shut down of the Tweeter app caught him offside making two offences in one according to his on pronouncement.
Malami had last week given directives concerning prosecuting Nigerians flouting the Twitter suspension by using the Virtual Private Networks (VPN) to access their accounts.
His account showed that he deactivated it Tuesday afternoon.
Minister of Information and Tourism, Lai Mohammed had announced the “indefinite” suspension in a statement last week by his spokesman Segun Adeyemi.
Similarly, the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC) also ordered broadcast stations to deactivate their Twitter accounts.
Malami, who took to his Facebook page on Tuesday, posted a photo and a caption which reads: “My Twitter account deactivated’.
His post received over 1,000 comments with mixed reactions; many of his Facebook followers asked him how he accessed Twitter to delete his account.
The President’s wife, Aisha Buhari, also deactivated her Twitter account last week.
