In November 2017, it emerged that the Governor of Nigeria’s Central Bank, Godwin Emefiele, had significant interests in an off-shore company registered in Bermuda, which held an account with UBS in London. UBS is a multinational investment bank and financial services company with its headquarters in Basel and Zurich in Switzerland.
Disclosures released by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) in the Paradise Papers revealed that Mr. Emefiele owned 49% of Oviation Asset Management since 2009 and was a director in the company since January 2013.
Twitter on Monday woke up to its responsibility by taking down the handle of
the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), @NDAvengers, just as the blog site of NDA was also brought down, reports ITRealms.
It was also gathered by ITRealms that NDA, a militant group, used this
handle to announce its rampaging activities which target mainly national oil
installations. This is coming after NDA had on Sunday proclaimed its latest attacks, which
have negatively affected oil production in Nigeria. The Sunday tweet by NDA, indicated the group attacked on oil facilities
operated by Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Chevron Nigeria Limited
and Nigerian Petroleum Development Company to name a few. However, the message on display when trying to access @NDAvengers on Twitter
reads, “Account suspended! This account has been suspended. Learn more about
why Twitter suspends accounts, or return to your timeline.” The spokesman of the Avengers, Mudoch Agbinibo, confirmed the suspension in
a statement posted on Facebook. “Notice! This is to bring to your notice that our twitter handle
@www.twitter.com/@ndavengers has been suspended and our blog @www.nigerdeltaavengers
disabled,” Agbinibo said. Appealing to fans and supporters with a promise they will soon launch a new
accounts. “We use this medium to appeal to our fans and supporter to be very careful
with any website or twitter claiming to represent us. We shall launch new
accounts soon! We must continue the struggle!!!” Agbinibo assured.
