MTN Nigeria Closes Shops Nationwide – TheNigerialawyer

South Africa owned telecommunications giant, MTN has announced
the closure of all its shops in Nigeria.

This may not be unconnected with the threat by some Nigerians to
reciprocate the Xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South
Africa.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that there had been
series of attacks on Nigerians and their businesses in South
Africa.

An action which the minister of Foreign Affairs Geoffrey Onyeama
says the South African government was not doing enough to
quell.

The attacks by South Africans also led to an attempt by some
Nigerians to raze some South African owned companies in Nigeria on
Tuesday, 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. Thank you.
