In what is clearly a significant development, a substantial number of disgruntled subscribers have taken to MTN offices nationwide, voicing their dissatisfaction and anger at the telecom giant’s recent decision to block their phone numbers, Daily Query can report.

This widespread blockade is linked to the mandatory NIN-SIM linkage directive, which has left many users who have not completed the linkage unable to access their essential phone services.

The enforcement of this regulation has resulted in numerous subscribers feeling stranded and frustrated, unable to carry out daily communications.

 Reports from various regions indicate that these affected individuals have converged at MTN offices, seeking immediate resolution and expressing their discontent vociferously.

In Osogbo, the Osun State capital, the scene was particularly chaotic.

The gathering of these displeased subscribers led to a significant traffic snarl, with many chanting slogans such as “protest has started!”

The palpable tension in the area highlighted the severity of the subscribers’ grievances and the urgency for a response from MTN.

As of the time of this report, MTN’s management had yet to issue an official statement or address the concerns raised by these subscribers.

The ongoing situation underscores the critical need for effective communication and swift action to resolve the issues stemming from the NIN-SIM linkage enforcement.
