Some MTN customers lost signals on their phones in some parts of the country on Saturday.
They were unable to make or receive calls. Short Messaging Service was equally impacted, as data services.
Many of those affected had “Emergency calls only” displayed on their phones.
Expectedly, the issue found its way to Twitter where affected customers lamented their plight.
A Twitter user with the handle @iamjudin1911 wrote, “Is this world coming to an end? I can’t make calls with MTN at the moment…better confess your sins before it’s too late.”
@kessyl tweeted: “MTN network completely off in Abuja…What is happening please?”
“Can anyone explain what is wrong with #MTN network?” @AjibolaJibsin asked.
MTN later sent out a message that reads:
“Some of our customers are having difficulty connecting to the network today. We’re looking into this and are truly sorry for any inconvenience caused.”
It followed up with another one: “Dear Customers, we apologise for any inconvenience this has caused”.
