A massive crowd has gathered has gathered in front of the MTN office at Maitama Abuja.
The crowd which has overwhelmed the staff at the MTN office is demanding immediate release or un-barring of their telephone lines by telecommunications firm.
The crowds which took over the road in front of the office declined entreaties by officials of MTN that their lines would be released soon.
Not satisfied with the explanation, they refused to leave the premises insisting that they have been deprived access to communications with their loved ones in addition to being cut off from running their businesses.
With the insistence of the crowd to remain until the lines are restored, the MTN officials alerted the police who have since deployed operatives to the place.
The Network can report authoritatively that though the police have been deployed, the huge crowd is still at the MTN office.
