Insecurity: MTN Nigeria warns of service disruption

MTN Nigeria, one of the country’s biggest telecoms operator, has warned of a potential disruption in service due to rising insecurity.

The development comes against the backdrop of a worrisome wave of insecurity in Nigeria.

MTN had intimated its customers of the situation in a message seen by Reuters. Equally important, the development has seen MTN become the first company in Nigeria to acknowledge a possible disruption to its services due to the disturbing level of insecurity in the country.

“Sadly, we must inform you that with the rising insecurity in different parts of Nigeria; service delivery to your organization may be impacted in the coming days.

“This means that in some cases, our technical support team may not be able to get to your site and achieve optimum turnaround time in fault management as quickly as possible,’’ MTN had purportedly written to customers.

Specifically, Reuters reports that MTN runs Nigeria’s largest mobile phone network which generates around a third of the company’s revenue. Also, Nigeria is MTN’s most lucrative market out of the 22 countries the company operates in across Africa; Asia and the Middle East.

Nigeria is currently battling against a rising tide of insecurity.

Recently, there has been a surge of kidnapping for ransom; as well as mass abductions of students and children, especially in the North. Furthermore, the country is struggling to rein in armed conflict between herdsmen and pastoralist farmers.

Worse still, it is prosecuting an insurgency by armed jihadist groups such as Boko Haram; as well as the Islamist State in West Africa (ISWAP) which has spanned over a decade.

EFCC Chairman, Bawa reveals threats on life due to corruption cases

The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa, has disclosed that he has been receiving death threats since he came on board as the chairman of the anti-graft agency.

Bawa made this disclosure on Tuesday, June 15, during an interview on Channels Television’s ‘Sunrise Daily’ programme.

When asked on Tuesday if indeed corruption is fighting back, Bawa said, “Last week, I was in New York, as all Nigerians are aware of. A very senior citizen received a phone call from somebody that is not even under investigation. What he (the caller) said to him on phone is that; he is going to kill the EFCC chairman, the young man.

“He said, ‘I am going to kill him. I am going to kill him’. This is to tell you how bad it is. It is actually real. Corruption can fight back.”

When further asked if he meant he has been receiving death threats, the EFCC chairman said, “Yes”.

The President had in February 2021 named 40-year-old Bawa as the new EFCC chairman to replace the embattled ex-acting chairman of the anti-graft commission, Ibrahim Magu.

Meanwhile, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has stated that the current challenges affecting the country require proactive leaders who are also prepared to bring Nigerians together.

Osinbajo’s spokesman, Laolu Akande, in a statement on Monday, June 14, in Abuja, said the vice president expressed this view in Lagos during a courtesy visit to the palace of Oniru of Iruland, Oba Abdulwasiu Lawal.

The traditional ruler is celebrating his first coronation anniversary.

Osinbajo commended Lawal for being a leader to people of diverse socio-ethnic backgrounds.

“Our country needs all the leaders, the best leaders, the most proactive leaders, leaders prepared to bring the country together.

”Lagos is a microcosm of Nigeria, everybody is here, if things work out well here, things will be okay in the country.

“I am sure your role here is that of someone who brings together communities; not just Yorubas, but everybody.

“And I can see that from your choice of chiefs, you have gone to other parts; and I think this is the attitude of great leaders.”
