Nigerian singers, Davido, Burna Boy, and Wizkid verification badges have been removed on the microblogging platform, Twitter.
Checks by our correspondent on Thursday showed that the verification badges on their account have been removed.
This new development may be connected to the non-payment of their verification subscription fee announced by Twitter Chief Executive Officer, Elon Musk.
Elon Musk had announced the final date for the free Blue badge removal via his verified account badges to be on April 20, 2023.
Editor’s Note
In our post on February 19, 2023, in a story ‘Woman burns self to death over failure to offset N70,000 loan’, we reported that a middle-aged woman, simply known as Mama Dada, set herself ablaze over her inability to pay back a loan of N70,000 she reportedly took from a microfinance bank, LAPO. We have since discovered that the microfinance bank referred to in the story was not LAPO Microfinance Bank Limited. We apologise to the LAPO Group for the error in the identification of the name of the said microfinance bank where the deceased took the loan. The mix-up in the name of the MFB is not deliberate.
