MTN Nigeria’s network services experienced a downtime, affecting both voice and data services on Thursday, leaving subscribers with speculations that the development might be deliberate to frustrate the nationwide #EndBadGovernance protests, which is aimed at drawing government’s attention to the prevailing economic hardship faced by citizens.
As at press time, MTN was yet to react to the development.
A social media user registered as Opeolu_waa reported the issues, saying, “Suddenly, MTN’s network is bad on the day of the planned protest; you people know what you’re doing.”
