Telecoms giant, MTN, has shut all its stores and service
centres across Nigeria.
This was coming on the heels of an outrage by some of its
subscribers across the country after the network provider barred their lines on
Sunday.
In a viral video on social media Monday, a mob is seen
destroying a barricade fence just outside the MTN office.
The clip showed a large crowd of angry subscribers
vandalising the telecommunications company’s office in the FESTAC Town area of
Lagos State in response to the network blocking subscribers due to a mismatch
in their National Identification Number and SIM registration.
However, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer,
Benjamin Hundeyin, in a response to the circulated video on X.com stated that
the DPO of FESTAC and his men had successfully restored normalcy and peace at
the scene.
“This should not be
the way to go!
Reacting on Tuesday, MTN said it would be shutting its shops
nationwide today.
“Yello customer, please be informed that our shops
nationwide will be closed today, 30th July 2024,” the statement sighted on X
read.
