Crowds have besieged the offices of MTN Nigeria in some parts of the country over barred lines.
On Sunday, many Nigerians took to social media platforms to lament that their MTN lines have been barred from making or receiving calls.

The restriction comes ahead of a planned nationwide protest billed for August 1.
