For instance, a subscriber named Ada, wrote on her WhatsApp status, saying, “Debt has been paid. MTN debtors Check your account, MTN don clear una gbese.”
However, a response from,an official of MTN, revealed that subscribers will still have to pay for their debts, adding that, “Users would still be responsible for paying the ostensibly cleared bills even after MTN fixes the problem that caused the debts to vanish from their accounts.”
He explained that the disappearance of debts in the subscribers’ accounts was a glitch.
According to him, the subscribers will still have to pay the supposed cleared debts once MTN rectifies the error.
