A Nigerian lawyer, Zaenab Olawunmi Adams, has demanded an explanation from telecommunications giant MTN Nigeria over the alleged rapid depletion of her 800GB annual data plan.
In an email to MTN which she published Friday on X, Adams said she purchased the ₦125,000 plan on May 15, 2026, but discovered that her data balance had dropped to 91.45GB by August 27, leaving her with only a small fraction of the original allocation.
According to the lawyer, MTN’s records indicate that about 708.55GB of the 800GB package had been consumed within roughly 104 days.
She questioned how such a large volume of data could have been used in just over three months, particularly because the subscription was designed to last for a year.
