No fewer than five persons fainted yesterday in Osogbo, Osun State
while trying to re-register their MTN lines as directed by the
telecommunication company.
The MTN management had earlier warned that whoever failed to do the
registration would lose his or her line.
Trying not to lose their lines, the subscribers stormed all MTN
offices in the ancient towns to register their lines.
But, five of the subscribers fainted in different locations before
being revived by sympathisers.
Witnesses said three persons collapsed at the MTN registration centre
at Fakunle and two at Dada Estate area of the town.
Long queues of subscribers, who had stormed the registration centres
as early as 6.30am, were at the different MTN offices in the town.
Meanwhile, some of the subscribers have called off the bluff of MTN,
threatened to switch to other service providers if the company
insisted on blocking their lines.
One of them, Mr Raphael Adeniran, frowned at the registration which he
described as inhuman.
He said: “What I met here is very disgusting. Many people are here,
they are just wasting our time since morning.
“All in the name of registration, many of us have been here since
morning. They said anybody that failed to do the registration would
lose his line.”
