Gunmen destroy MTN, Airtel masts in Kano and Maiduguri

 
Base stations belonging to MTN, Globacom, Airtel might have been affected in the multiple attacks that jolted Borno, Bauchi, Yobe and Gombe states.

Gunmen suspected to be members of Boko Haram burned down at least ten masts this morning in Maiduguri and Kano, making it almost impossible for mobile phone users to use their phones.

The Islamic sect had reportedly threatened recently to cause immense damage to telecoms operators’ facilities for allegedly providing information that had helped securities agencies tracked its members.

Analysts said the Wednesday attacks might be connected to the threat by the suspected terrorists.
Reuters also reported that sources close to the sect said Boko Haram members had in the past been concerned that they might be traced through mobile phones.
