Nigerian Army Deletes Tweet Citing President Trump's Comment As An Excuse For Killing Protesters.

The Nigerian army have come under fire over a tweet that suggested that shooting and killing Shite protesters was due to President Donald Trump's comments.
The tweet which has since been deleted referenced a video of Trump where he suggested that US soldiers on the country's southwestern border may open fire if migrants throw rocks at them. Trump insisted Friday that he meant that rocks throwers will be arrested.


The tweet on the army's Twitter account stated: " please watch and make your deduction "

The military did not return calls seeking comments on the deleted tweet.


Nigeria's main Shite Muslim movement says the army killed at least 50 of their members who were protesting last week. Nigeria's military said it was six people and claim the protesters had first fired.
