Reacting via a Twitter post on Sunday, the activist claimed that restoring her blue tick verification had led to many people questioning her integrity.

She wrote;

Hello @twitter @verified

What you are doing here is fraudulent misrepresentation. I did not subscribe to Twitter blue. Kindly take off the blue tick or give it, its proper explanation of why you gave it. Your action is affecting me as it leads to people questioning my integrity. As well as coercing some of my followers into action or inaction based on the misrepresentation.
