A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, has claimed that elecommunications companies in the country could be trying to hinder the upcoming protest against economic hardship.
Adegboruwa in a statement on Sunday, said there were a lot
of complaints about network restrictions as the date for the protest
approaches.
Scheduled to begin on August 1, the demonstration aims to
address issues of hunger, poverty, and dissatisfaction with current economic
policies.
He noted, “In recent days, some telecom companies have been
disconnecting subscribers for trivial or unexplained reasons.”
Adegboruwa also criticised the timing of these
disconnections, suggesting that they are intended to limit the reach of
protestors and frustrate the planned demonstration.
The SAN noted that telecom contracts are binding and that
subscribers should be given adequate time and information to address any
issues.
He urged the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC. to
investigate the matter and ensure that subscribers’ rights are protected.
