Nigerian telecom firms have shut down access to Twitter after a regulatory directive, an industry body said on Saturday, a day after the government said it would suspend the US social media giant indefinitely.

Nigeria said on Friday it had indefinitely suspended Twitter's activities, two days after the company removed a post from President Muhammadu Buhari that threatened to punish regional secessionists in the West African country.
