Nigerian content creator and streamer Carter Efe has reportedly had his account suspended by the streaming platform Twitch. The suspension comes just days after Efe achieved a significant milestone, breaking follower records on the platform and becoming the most followed African streamer.

Efe confirmed the action taken against his account by sharing a screenshot of an email from Twitch on his Instagram page. The message from Twitch stated that the suspension followed a review of his activity or content, citing violations of the platform’s Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.

The streaming giant indicated that the suspension is global and temporarily restricts Efe’s access to Twitch services. The platform also issued a warning that repeated violations could lead to more severe penalties, including extended suspensions or a permanent ban from the service.

This development is particularly notable as it follows closely on the heels of Carter Efe’s remarkable surge in popularity. He recently surpassed 400,000 followers on Twitch, having crossed the 300,000 follower mark only a few days prior to that.

His rapid ascent to prominence is largely attributed to a highly successful live stream that featured Nigerian music star Davido. This particular broadcast attracted a massive audience, significantly contributing to his impressive follower growth.

While the specific reasons for the violation of Twitch’s guidelines remain undisclosed in the initial communication, the platform’s strict enforcement of its rules is well-documented. The suspension raises questions about the nature of the content or activities that led to this action, especially given his recent success.
