This development has led to accusations that the network issues might be connected to efforts by the President Bola Tinubu administration to frustrate the demonstrations of nationwide protesters.

However, speaking during an appearance on Channels TV, Tijani said, “There’s no instruction to tamper with (phone) networks.”
