Nigerian Lawyer Sues Meta Over Permanetly Disabled Instagram Accounts, Gets All Five Restored

A young Nigerian corporate lawyer, Rasheed Aro, has reportedly secured the restoration of five Instagram accounts after petitioning Meta over their deactivation.

According to a post circulating on X, Aro filed a strongly worded, six-page petition against Meta Inc. after the company permanently disabled a client’s Instagram account on February 1 without providing an explanation.

The post stated that all five accounts had been restored within two weeks of the legal action.
