Streaming platform Twitch has reportedly suspended the account of Nigerian content creator Carter Efe, just days after he made history as the most-followed African streamer on the platform.
Carter Efe disclosed the development on Instagram, sharing a screenshot of an email from Twitch confirming the suspension of his account.
According to the message, the action followed a review of his activity or content on the platform.
Twitch stated that the suspension was based on violations of its Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. The company added that the decision applies globally, temporarily restricting Carter Efe’s access to Twitch services.
Twitch also warned that further violations could attract more severe penalties, including longer suspensions or a permanent ban from the platform.
The suspension comes shortly after Carter Efe crossed the 400,000-follower mark on Twitch, having surpassed 300,000 followers just days earlier. The achievement positioned him as the most-followed African streamer on the platform.
His meteoric rise was largely driven by a highly publicised livestream featuring Afrobeats superstar Davido. The session attracted massive live viewership, significantly boosting his follower count and drawing widespread attention to his Twitch channel.
As of now, Carter Efe has not publicly addressed the specific reason behind the suspension beyond sharing Twitch’s notification.
