Telecommunications giant, MTN, has announced the closure of all its shops in Nigeria in response to the recent reprisals by Nigerians over the xenophobic attacks in South Africa.
There have been attacks on Nigerians and their businesses in South Africa, an action which resulted into protests and attacks on some South Africa-owned businesses, such as MTN, DSTV and Shoprite.
In a message to its subscribers on Wednesday, MTN Nigeria announced the closure of its shops and the operation of only its online platforms.
It read: ”Yello! Our shops are unavailable today. You can reach us on Twitter- @MTN180, MTNonline.com/Livechat, chat on MyMTN App. For Call Center dial 180.”
