$5.2bn fine: MTN’s inaction aided Boko Haram, says Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday spoke publicly for the first time on the $5.2bn fine imposed on MTN Group by the Nigerian Communications Commission, saying the concern of his government is not about the penalty but on the security implication of the telecommunication firm’s inaction.

The firm was sanctioned by the regulatory agency for failing to register some SIM cards.
