rters, Benin, and the Edo State command, had also for five months kept silent on the case involving MTN and suspected murder to favour some Nigerian Army personnel.A Benin-based pastor in Edo State has dragged multi-national telecommunications company, MTN Nigeria Limited, before a Federal High Court sitting in Benin for releasing forged call logs to undermine the police investigation in a case of his missing bus driver and a missing Nissan Vanennete bus.
SaharaReporters had reported that some MTN officials failed to honour police invitations to explain over 65 errors/discrepancies in the call logs that the company released to the police, probing the abduction of one Sylvester Ekpemokan, whose illegal detention by the army resulted in his death. Ekpemokan had gone to work on August 10, 2021, precisely and did not return, after the military men abducted and kept him in their guardroom in Benin City, Edo State.In the course of investigation, the police through a court order requested for the call logs of the missing driver and the army personnel who allegedly abducted the missing driver from MTN Nigeria limited. MTN in line with the court order supplied the police with the call logs.
The petitioner's lawyer wrote to MTN twice to explain the highlighted error in the call logs but MTN refused to explain.
