In viral videos shared on Twitter, the mob was seen destroying the MTN billboard at the junction of Federal Housing Estate, Lugbe in Abuja.

Other aggrieved protesters also reportedly burnt down MTN office at Lugbe, while some were seen in the footage on the highway leading to the Novare mall at Lugbe in what looks like an attempt to attack the mall.

A Twitter user said when the mob couldn’t gain access into the mall due to the heavy presence of policemen, “they burnt tires on the road which caused traffic gridlock around the area.”
