Nigerian comedian, singer, and content creator Carter Efe has been hit with a major blow after Twitch suspended his account just days after he set a new streaming record in Africa.

Carter Efe, whose real name is Oderhohwo Efe, revealed the suspension on December 22 by sharing a notice from Twitch stating that his channel, twitch.tv/carterefe, had been globally restricted for allegedly violating the platform’s Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. At the time of the suspension, the channel had amassed approximately 459,000 followers.

The development came shortly after Carter Efe’s landmark livestream on December 17 with Nigerian music superstar Davido, which drew a record-breaking peak of over 90,000 viewers, making it the most-watched live stream in Africa and placing him ahead of fellow streamer Shank Comics.

Twitch has not provided specific details regarding the violation, a move that has sparked widespread debate across social media. Many fans have expressed outrage and disappointment, describing the suspension as poorly timed and calling for greater transparency from the platform. Supporters have since circulated open letters and urged Twitch to reinstate the account.

Undeterred by the setback, Carter Efe has swiftly transitioned to **YouTube Live to continue engaging his growing fan base while reportedly exploring options to appeal the suspension.

The incident has once again highlighted ongoing concerns around platform moderation and the rising prominence of African creators in the global digital content space, as audiences await Twitch’s next move.
