Peoples Gazette learnt on Tuesday that the Instagram page of popular blog ‘Instablog’ has been taken down.

Instablog, a Nigerian-based blog known for its anonymous and often controversial posts covering a wide range of topics, including news, entertainment, and gossip, has amassed a large following on social media platforms, especially Instagram, where it shares its content with over seven million followers.

Despite its massive following and influence, the recent removal from Instagram is not the first time the platform has faced such a setback. There are previous instances of its account being taken down.

In the latest action by Instagram, the reason had yet to be made public.

Historically, whenever the account experienced takedowns, the Instablog team swiftly created a new one, prompting followers to rejoin. However, this time, the platform has maintained silence on the matter.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that Instablog has two affiliated pages on Instagram: ‘Instablog9jac’ and ‘Instablog9japbm.’

The creators and contributors behind Instablog are anonymous, adding to the intrigue surrounding the platform.
