MTN, the telecommunications giant, has temporarily suspended operations at all its retail outlets and service centers 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 vandalizing 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 (NIN) and SIM registration.
MTN said “Yello customer, please be informed that our shops nationwide will be closed today, 30th July 2024,” the statement sighted on X read.”
