MTN Shut down Outlets, Stores Nationwide

Telecom giant, MTN, has announced that all stores and service centres across Nigeria will be shut down due to an outrage that turned into the destruction of one of its facilities on Monday.

In a video that went viral on social media, a mob destroyed a barricade fence just outside the MTN office in FESTAC Town, Lagos.

According to reports, the office was attacked due to the network provider barring the lines of some subscribers on Sunday due to a mismatch in their National Identification Number and SIM registration.

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.
