- Telco apologises over service outage
The identities of the new investors in Nigeria’s 9mobile remain very unclear. A British company, LH Telecommunication Limited, had acquired 95 per cent of the telecoms company.
A thorough internet search for the company led to GOV.UK. It showed that a company that bore a similar name but with NE was dissolved on August 4, 2015.
A file copy of Certificate of Incorporation of a Private Limited Company seen on the internet, read: “The Registrar of Companies for England and Wales hereby certifies that LH Telecom (NE) Limited is this day incorporated under the Companies Act 2006 as a private company, that the company has shares, and the situation of its registered office is in England and Wales. The certificate numbered 08560520 was given at Companies House, Cardiff on 7 June, 2013.”
Efforts to speak to Communication Lead at 9mobile, Chineze Amanfo, were futile as calls made to her mobile number failed to connect.
The NCC and FCCPC had approved the transaction underscoring the fact that due diligence had been conducted on the company.
The management of the company has apologised for it network outage which been on for almost four days now.
