Radio Biafra transmitter on MTN mast Confiscated by Ericsson

Ericsson Nigeria has admitted that a contract employee working with it was responsible for the Radio Biafra  installed on an MTN mast in Enugu. In a statement signed by its Managing Director, Johan Jemdahl, the firm said:

“Illegal FM transmitting equipment was discovered connected to an outsourced MTN mast, managed by Ericsson, in Enugu in Eastern Nigeria. The equipment was immediately confiscated and the authorities were notified. 

A contractor to Ericsson has subsequently been taken into police custody after his involvement was discovered. He has been discharged from his contracted responsibilities with Ericsson. Ericsson views this incident in an extremely serious light. 

It is the result of a violation of its process that permits access to its mast sites. We sincerely regret the unfortunate incident, which violates our code of business ethics and code of conduct, contracted responsibilities as well as our company’s values.”

An MTN source says David Nwawuisi, who is currently standing trial with Nnamdi Kanu, was able to install the transmitters because he worked with Ericsson Nigeria Limited, one of the companies to which MTN outsources the maintenance of its base stations
