However, Fayose dared the AGF to arrest him, tweeting, “AGF Malami, I just tweeted. No shaking!

“Nigerians welcome the international community’s condemnation of President Buhari’s suspension of Twitter access.

“They should go further to hold him and his govt to account for further loss of lives and human right abuses in Nigeria going by his deleted genocidal message.”
