Nigeria Twitter ban: civic society seeks to reverse decision

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) asks the Commonwealth to condemn Nigeria's decision to suspend Twitter indefinitely.

SERAP Deputy Director Kolawole Oluwadare says its organisation seeks to reverse the decision and calls on President Buhari to 'respect access to information and freedom of expression'. Also, our Uganda correspondent Patience Atuhaire on the country's decision to suspend school in response to a spike in Covid-19 infections, and we look into the legacy of spiritual leader and preacher Temitope Balogun Joshua known to many as TB Joshua.
