Xenophobia: MTN Takes Swift Action In Nigeria

Telecommunications giant, MTN, has announced the closure of all its outlets in Nigeria.

This is suspected to be as a result of the continuous threat by some Nigerians to retaliate the Xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.

The attacks by South Africans on Nigerians living in the country has also led to an attempt by some Nigerians to raze some South Africa-owned companies in Nigeria, including MTN, Dstv, and Shoprite.

In a message to its subscribers on Wednesday, MTN Nigeria announced the closure of its shops and the operation of only its online platforms. “Yello! Our shops are unavailable today. You can reach us on Twitter- @MTN180, MTNonline.com/Livechat, chat on MyMTN App. For Call Center dial 180.
