Subscribers of MTN mobile phone and data services in Lokoja and its environs are presently experiencing difficulty in accessing the services of the provider.

A News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) correspondent gathered yesterday in Lokoja that the development followed the decision of the Kogi State Internal Revenue Service (KGIRS) to shut the telecom service provider’s base stations in Lokoja, Obajana and other adjoining communities. There had been a lingering dispute between the revenue board and MTN over the latter’s non-remittance of taxes to the state government when due. The KGIRS had, similarly in October last year, shut seven stations of MTN, which also resulted in disruption of services to subscribers.

The Director, Legal Services and Enforcement of KGIRS, Mr. Jamil Isah, who led other staff to seal the base stations of MTN, said that the action commenced on Wednesday afternoon. According to Isah, the action is due to the refusal of the telecom service provider to remit outstanding tax liability of N120 million to the state government.

He chided the MTN for remitting a paltry N250,000 out of the amount, describing the action as an abuse of the restraining order the state government earlier placed on KGIRS to allow for peaceful resolution of the dispute. He said: “The state governor heeded the intervention of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) when its officials came, and ordered the opening of the sealed MTN base stations to allow for negotiations.
