Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, SAN, says indications show that telecommunications companies are trying to frustrate the planned protest in the country.
July 28, 2024 6:51 pmEbun-Olu Adegboruwa, a senior advocate of Nigeria , says there are indications that telecommunications companies in the country are trying to frustrate the planned protest.
In a statement on Sunday, Adegboruwa said complaints of network restrictions among citizens have risen as the protest nears.Adegboruwa warned that telcos should not attempt to sabotage the planned protest by restricting internet access among displeased citizens.“For the past few days, some telecom companies have been disconnecting their subscribers for flimsy and untenable reasons,” the SAN said.
Adegboruwa said contracts between telecommunication companies and their subscribers remain sacrosanct and should not be tampered with. “Sufficient information and opportunity should be given for subscribers to remedy any alleged breach or error,” he said. “So many telephone users deploy their numbers for their businesses and other lawful engagements, not to talk of those who may have medical and health-related emergencies.”The human rights lawyer urged the Nigerian Communications Commission to look into the matter.
