The law firm, in a letter dated March 18, 2019 stated that MTN cannot list its shares on the Nigeria stock market due to an ongoing suit before the Supreme Court over the massive divestment of its assets.

“We consider the move by MTN as unfair, misleading, and calculated attempt as usual to defraud the Nigerian economy and the Nigerian investing public. “Please be advised that under the Nigerian law and jurisprudence, MTN cannot disrespect the Supreme Court by interfering with the subject matter of litigation before the apex court in the land.”
