Nigeria’s House of Representatives threatens to issue arrest warrants for telecom chief executives of MTN, Airtel and Glo if they do not appear for a committee hearing on persistent poor network services. The threatened hearing is set for November 4, with concerns including dropped calls, slow internet and weak network coverage.
The outlets describe the same core action: the House’s ad hoc committee investigating telecommunications service quality rejects attempts or failures by the CEOs to honour invitations. Coverage focuses on what happens if the executives miss the hearing and what the committee is scrutinising in service performance, rather than on any wider policy response.
Across reporting, the emphasis varies slightly between whether the focus is on the threatened arrest warrants generally or specifically on the commissioners’ next steps after non-appearance. The details provided are limited, but the reporting broadly agrees on the complaint areas and the House’s enforcement posture.
