MTN Shuts Down Offices Nationwide Over SIM Blocking Outrage

Telecoms giant, MTN, has   close  all its   shops  and   provider  centres   throughout  Nigeria.

This   became  coming   at the  heels of an outrage   with the aid of using  a number of  its subscribers   throughout  the   u . s .  after the   community  company  barred their   traces  on Sunday.

In a viral video on social media Monday, a mob is   visible  destroying a barricade fence   simply  outdoor  the MTN   workplace .

The clip   confirmed  a   huge  crowd of   indignant  subscribers vandalising the telecommunications company's   workplace  withinside the  FESTAC Town   region  of Lagos State in   reaction  to the   community  blockading  subscribers   because of  a mismatch   of their  National Identification Number and SIM registration.


However, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, in a   reaction  to the circulated video on X.com   said  that the DPO of FESTAC and his   guys  had   efficaciously  restored normalcy and peace   on the  scene.

"This   must  now no longer  be the   manner  to go!

Reacting on Tuesday, MTN   stated  it might be  shutting its   stores  national  today.

"Yello customer, please be   knowledgeable  that our   stores  national  could be  closed today,   thirtieth  July 2024," the   assertion  sighted on X read.
