A popular microblogging platform, Twitter, has removed the verification tag attached to the account of former Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.

Although Twitter has not disclosed the motive behind the removal of the tag, DAILY NIGERIAN gathered that the tags are mostly placed on real accounts of officials of the government against impersonation.
