According to the NITDA, the suggested move is made to curb, Fitch, interrogate and bring offenders to book. It was said by the Government parastatal that if a felony message is created outside Nigeria, the first Nigerian to create such information will be adjudged to be the first creator.

However, the government denies trampling on the constitutional rights of Nigerians which guarantees free speech of the citizens but is putting all necessary actions to put an end to the spread of harmful information.

Recalled that, in June 2021 the Federal Government banned Twitter over the allegation that the platform is being used to promote harmful information.
