“Those of us in the fields for 30 months, who went through the war, will treat them in the language they understand.”
According to The Nation, The tweet sparked an outrage on Tuesday evening with many social media users describing it as ‘genocidal’ and a direct threat to people of the South-East region of Nigeria. Several users reported the President’s Twitter account.

We send an email notification to the violator identifying the Tweet(s) in violation and which policies have been violated.
