Protesting Customer Storms MTN Office Osogbo Over Barred Line

A protest has broken out at the head  MTN office in Osogbo, the Osun state capital following the telecommunication company’s decision to block sim cards that are yet to link their National Identification Numbers (NIN) to their sim cards.

In a video making the rounds on social media, a large group of people can be seen setting up blockades in front of the MTN office, preventing commuters from passing through.

The protesters can be heard lampooning the company for blocking their cards, insisting that they weren’t even given any kind of warning or message to that effect.

 

“The protest has started. There is no road here anymore so anybody coming should be going back.

How can they block our lines without any warning or message? We have started the protest and we will remain here with them,” protesters who are already turning back oncoming vehicles could be heard saying in the local Yoruba dialect.

 

This is coming after MTN embarked on a mass-blocking campaign over the weekend. Many users of the South African telephone service provider woke up to the reality that they could not make or receive telephone calls or access the Internet.
