- Many Nigerians woke up on Sunday to find their SIM cards barred by MTN Group Limited
A crowd of MTN subscribers whose telephone lines were barred by the network besieged the firm’s office across the country on Monday morning.
WITHIN NIGERIA learnt that many Nigerians woke up on Sunday to find their SIM cards barred by MTN Group Limited and others.
Some of the subscribers, in the early hours of Monday, July 29, 2024, arrived at the MTN offices with long queues formed at the entrances.
This is a reaction to the directive of the Nigeria Communications Commission to disconnect Subscriber Identity Module numbers (telephone lines) not linked to the National Identification Numbers, which was scheduled to take effect on July 31, 2024.
The blockage has left many subscribers stranded and unable to access their phone services.
