GOVERNOR Nyesom Wike, has allegedly that the National Security Adviser and the Independent National Electoral Commission had perfected plans to shut down the internet in Nigeria, during the forthcoming elections.

According to an unverified Twitter handle, linked to the governor, @GovWike, he reportedly made this claim during the visit of Savannah Centre Council on Peaceful and Violence Free in Nigeria to the Government House in Port Harcourt on Thursday.

He said, “The National Security Adviser has met with INEC to ensure that internet service providers shutdown the internet, so that foreign bodies won’t see what’s happening in the country during the elections.

“They will jam all the frequencies and internet services to stop real-time communication during the elections.

“This plot to rig the forthcoming elections is a recipe for violence. They will not succeed in whatever they are planning. The world will be informed about their criminal activities.” – Punch
