Human rights activist,Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa,SAN,has raised alarm over disconnection of some subscribers by telecommunications companies in Nigeria under questionable circumstances.
Adegboruwa,in a statement alleged that the underlying target of the telecom companies is to limit the reach of their customers in order to restrict access and thus frustrate the protests.
According to him,the contract between a telecom company and its subscribers is sacrosanct and should not be tampered with arbitrarily.
He added:”Sufficient information and opportunity should be given for subscribers to remedy any alleged breach or error.
“So many telephone users deploy their numbers for their businesses and other lawful engagements, not to talk those who may have medical and health related emergencies.
“The NCC is urged to look into this and come to the rescue of the subscribers”.
