Why Internet Was Disrupted During Protests — TELCOs by Kingzjayzee(op): 7:06pm On Aug 03, 2024

Nigerian telecom providers have attributed the country’s recent internet disruptions to cable cuts by hoodlums during the #EndBadGovernance protests.

This explanation comes after accusations from various organisations that some network providers deliberately interfered with the network to restrict coverage of the demonstrations.

Speaking on behalf of telecom operators in Nigeria, Gbolahan Awonuga, the executive secretary of the Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), told Leadership that the network outage was caused by demonstrators damaging some internet cables.

He stated, “There are a lot of cable cuts across Nigeria. Some of the protesters went into the manhole and cut the cables. The network disruption is not a matter of the government trying to sabotage the protest. It is as a result of the cable cut.”

Awonuga mentioned that arrangements are being made with the National Security Adviser to the President (NSA) to give operators clearance to repair the damages. He also appealed to Nigerians to exercise patience, as efforts are underway to restore the network soon.

So it is the office of the national security adviser...

That would give you clearance to repair your cables?

Okay.

Omoh see lamba. This Tinubu is a very dangerous man. The networks are being throttled to prevent information flow. It gets worse around midday and gets better at night when the protests are over.

This is the reason why I will personally join the protesters tomorrow. Why this big lie? Our techco need to be sued or dealth with especially MTN. To open nairaland with 5G network suddenly became hectic.
