Vandals have attacked the regional head office of
telecommunication giant, MTN in Abuja stealing phones, cash and also destroying
vehicle and office equipment.
About 30 vandals invaded the premises at 4 Madeira Street,
Maitama chanting ‘solidarity songs’ armed with
sticks and rods.
A MTN staff who was in the premises when it happened said
the staff scurried for safety while the
attack lasted for some minutes before the intervention of security operatives.
“I just heard people running then I started running to hide
and by the time we came out after the security operatives chased them out, they
have packed all the laptops we used to work, all the phones on display for
sale, they broke some computers and took people’s personal phones and money,”
the staff who pleaded anonymity said.
The source added that cash were also taken but the amount
could not be ascertained at the moment.
“They got into the premises, the windscreen of a car was
broken , all the doors from the reception to the personal service were
destroyed,” the staff said adding that the vandals were chanting xenophobia
songs even after they were chased outside the premises by security operatives.
When contacted the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, ASP
Manzah Anjuguri said he has not been briefed on the incident.
