TikTok has removed over 3.6 million videos in Nigeria between January and March 2025 for violating its community guidelines.
TikTok disclosed this via its Q1 2025 Community Guidelines Enforcement Report released on Tuesday, July 15.
The platform stated that the figure represents a 50 per cent increase compared to the previous quarter.
According to the report, 98.4 per cent of the videos were taken down before users could report them, while 92.1 per cent were removed within 24 hours of being posted.
TikTok attributed the improvement to its expanded use of advanced technology, expert moderation teams, and a strengthened system for detecting and removing harmful content before it spreads.

It added that the content removed represents only a small percentage, noting that the majority of content remain positive, educational, and entertaining.
The platform stated: “With millions of positive, educational, and entertaining videos uploaded on TikTok every day, TikTok is continually strengthening its ability to identify and remove content that goes against its Community Guidelines.
“The latest removals report represents a small fraction of the total number of videos posted by the Nigerian community quarterly; highlighting that the platform has more positive and empowering content.”
