PDP drags MTN to court                                             

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked a Federal High Court in Abuja for an order compelling the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to revoke the licence of MTN Nigeria Communications Ltd.
In the suit brought by the Osun and Ekiti chapters of the party and the former governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, the party claimed that the NCC failed to protect them from the unfair practices of MTN.

It also alleged that when asked to provide the National Judicial Council (NJC) with the call logs containing the alleged conversations between the suspended President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Ayo Salami, to substantiate allegations that he was influenced by some chieftains of the Action Congress of Nigeria to arrive at the decision that removed Oyinlola from office, MTN provided the council with an incomplete data.

In the statement of claim filed by the plaintiffs’ lawyer, Adebisi Raimi, the party claimed: “MTN deliberately frustrated the work of the panel by providing inadequate and incomplete call data records and thus manipulated same.
“The action of MTN to deliberately frustrate the work of the NJC panel by providing inadequate and incomplete call data records constituted gross professional and ethical misconduct.”
