A Nigerian lawyer, Zaenab Olawunmi Adams, Esq., has formally sued MTN Nigeria over what she described as the unusually rapid depletion of her 800GB annual data plan. Adams, a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, said she subscribed to the plan on May 15, 2026, for ₦125,000, but was left with just 91.45GB by August 27. In a formal complaint addressed to MTN customer care, the lawyer said the network's records showed about 708.55GB of her 800GB allocation had been used within approximately 104 days - only about 11.4% remained.
She said she is not a high-volume user: 'I do not use multiple devices on the line, I am not a gamer, and my ordinary internet usage is substantially limited to routine activities such as social media, messaging, browsing and other personal online activities on a single mobile device.' She requested MTN provide records from May 15 to August 27, 2026 - date/time of each data-consumption session, volume deducted, chronological balance statement, and responsible apps/services - and called for an immediate investigation and reconciliation of the usage.
