In a sudden and unexpected move, MTN Nigeria has automatically restored services to the SIM cards that were blocked earlier today, without requiring customers to take any action.
The dramatic reversal comes after a large group of affected customers stormed the MTN office in various branches in Nigeria, threatening to take drastic measures, including burning down the office, if their services were not restored.
It appears that the fear of escalating customer anger and potential violence prompted MTN to swiftly resolve the issue, avoiding what could have been a dangerous situation.
Customers took to social media to express their surprise and relief, with many attributing the swift resolution to the collective outcry and threat of protest.
The incident highlights the power of consumer activism and the importance of telecommunications companies being responsive to their customers’ needs.
As one social media user commented, “Fear of burning their offices down is indeed the beginning of wisdom!”
