$5.2bn Fine: Mtn’s Inaction Aided Boko Haram, Says Buhari by MosakuAW(m): 2:33pm On Mar 08, 2016 |
Olalekan Adetayo, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday spoke publicly for the first time on the $5.2bn fine imposed on MTN Group by the Nigerian Communications Commission, saying the concern of his government is not about the penalty but on the security implication of the telecommunication firm’s inaction. The firm was sanctioned by the regulatory agency for failing to register some SIM cards. Buhari spoke while answering a question during a joint press conference he addressed alongside visiting South African President, Jacob Zuma, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. He said because members of the Boko Haram sect were using unregistered SIM cards, MTN contributed to the casualties recorded by the sect because of its inaction. He said that was why his government left the NCC and security agencies to handle the matter in their own way. The President added that unfortunately for the telecommunication firm, rather than negotiating payment, it dragged the Federal Government to court. He said the country’s constitution stipulates that no further action should be taken on any issue that is a subject of litigation. Buhari said now that MTN had decided to withdraw the case from court, it is free to go back to the relevant government agencies to see if the fine can be reduced and paid in installments.

That is the way to go Mr. President. MTN and other unpatriotic companies must learn to respect the law of the land, by fire by force. |

very ridiculous statement. The president should learn to guard his statements. He should produce unverifiable proof that the lines used by suspected Boko Haram members were unregistered MTN lines, before making such allegations |
