Unsolicited telephone calls: Lagos Lawyer slams Telecom Companies with 80 billion Naira class action lawsuit.


Following the refusal of GSM operators to halt their privacy-invading unsolicited telephone calls despite NCC's directives, a Lagos-based Consumer Rights Lawyer, Olumide Babalola, has filed a class action suit at the Lagos High Court for himself and on behalf of all the subscribers of the GSM operators who might have received the unsolicited calls and messages.



In the suit No. LD/3981MFHR/2016 that was filed on Wednesday, 14th September 2016 against the four major Telecommunication Companies in Nigeria to wit: Emerging Markets Telecommunication Service Ltd (Etisalat network); Airtel Networks Ltd (Airtel network), Globacom Ltd (Globacom network) and MTN Nigeria Communications Ltd (MTN network), the Applicant prayed for declaratory, injunctive and compensatory reliefs and especially the sum of 20 billion Naira in damages against each of the Telecommunication Companies for the infraction of their subscribers' fundamental rights to private and family life as guaranteed by section 37 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (As amended).



In order to join the law suit to claim compensation, any interested affected subscriber can “opt-in” by contacting the Lawyers at: classaction2016@outlook.com


As at press time, the newly filed suit is yet to be assigned to any judge.

AM IN;
AT LEAST I WILL GET 40M

Bruhahahahaha.... Laughing in Spanish. This is what I call building Castle in the air. Why not be realistic? The one NCC slammed mtn is yet to be paid you are there calling for another one. Abeg Park well

Good

This reminds me of a Voice note someone sent me about a guy calling Airtel to ask where he can get a bag of rice for 15k..Airtel has disturbed him enough and it was his turn to disturb them too. But on a serious note, these network providers should stop all dis unsolicited msgs and calls, some even come without notification and you might mistakenly accept it and your money is gone.

op u have his number? I'd like to fish the dying career of glo

Good. These idiots need to learn the hard way. They are unrepentant.
