Lekki Shooting: MTN Retracts, Deletes Apology After Accusation Of Complicity

MTN Nigeria has deleted an apology it offered to customers who experienced service outage in Lekki and environs in Lagos on Tuesday evening.

The telecom giant had shared the apology at 11:54 pm Nigerian Time via its Twitter customer care handle @MTN180, hours after dozens of unarmed EndSARS protesters were shot by armed men in military fatigues.

Titled “Service Challenges”, the apology read, “We are truly sorry for any difficulty you may have connecting to the network in parts of Lekki, Oniru and Victoria Island at this time.

“This is due to the loss of auxiliary power supply at a hub site in the area.

“Our engineers are working to resolve these challenges as quickly as possible, although they are constrained by the prevailing circumstances which limit access.

“Thank you for your patience.”
