Telecom giant MTN has decided to shut down all its stores and service centers across Nigeria today in response to significant subscriber backlash.

This action follows a controversial decision made on Sunday, when MTN suspended services for users due to inconsistencies between their National Identification Number and SIM registration details.

The situation escalated dramatically when a viral video emerged showing a mob attacking an MTN office in ‏FESTAC Town, Lagos.

The video depicted the crowd vandalizing the office and damaging barricades outside the building, a reaction triggered by the network’s decision to block affected lines.

In response to the unrest, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed that order had been restored by the local police, specifically the FESTAC Division Police Officer and his team.
