On Saturday, MTN Nigeria confirmed that it had received a letter from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission , requesting information and documentation on the mobile operator’s listing . In 2015 the telecoms giant was slapped with a $5bn fine for failing to disconnect the SIM cards of 5-million unregistered users. The fine was reduced to $1.7bn after negotiations with the authorities.
