Exclusive reports reaching IB has it that the Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Alhaji Abba Kyari who is under investigation by the Special Investigation Panel of the Nigerian Police Force over bribery allegations was today suspended by President Buhari.
IB recalls that the NCC, Nigeria’s telecoms regulator, slammed a $5 billion fine on MTN for failing to disconnect subscribers with unregistered phone lines bought before January 2012.
Following the frustrations of the telecommunications giant’s bid to fight the huge fine imposition, firstly through the courts and later through diplomatic means, Sahara Reporters published a report on 20th September 2016, stating that officials of MTN gave a bribe of N500million to Alhaji Abba Kyari, to intervene and use his closeness to President Buhari, to influence the federal government to give MTN a safe landing.
