SIM CARD BLOCKING; IGNORE FAKE MSGs CIRCULATING

MTN rubbishes claim of blocking people's momo, calls on people to be vigilant

MTN Ghana has rubbished claims circulating on social media that they are going to review and block some people who are using momo without using their own ID cards.

According to them in an exclusive interview with Nana Peprah, Ghanaians should reject such claims since it is a mere fabrication to tarnish the service's highly gained reputation.

Mr. Godwin Tamakloe,

Senior Manager at the Anti Money Laundering and Compliance department of the service speaking to this reporter disclosed that the only thing only thing MTN is only advocating for people to update their numbers at any service center.

He said this is the way of ensuring everybody who is registered on a mobile money has his/her own name attached to it.

He urges the general public not to rely on such fake information since MTN is never going to anyone from using MTN Mobile even if it's not registered in your name. He only advised everyone to update his number as such.

It could be recalled that there has been a report circulating on the various social media outlets that MTN is going to block people registered their Mobile money numbers without using their own ID cards, thus from 2nd April.

The said voice continues by urging the general public to withdraw their monies from the Momo wallet before 2nd April to avoid any blockage.

But reacting to this in an exclusive interview with Nana Peprah, Mr. Tamakloe revealed that MTN hasn't assigned anyone to spread such fake information, and that everyone should rubbish it since a mere fabrication.
