The Transparency Nigeria Group has urged the Federal Government of Nigeria and all the relevant security agencies to immediately launch an investigation into business practices of Mafab Communications Limited, one of the companies that was announced as a successful bidder for one of Nigeria’s 3.5 GHz licences.
The TNG made the call in a statement issued on Monday by Umar Dadiyata, shortly after the bid results were announced
According to the statement, “Mafab Communications was incorporated in 2020, has no comprehensive tax history and appears to have been specifically set up by connected insiders for the purpose of acquiring one of the highly valued 5G licences”.
“The TNG demands an immediate investigation into Mafab Communications and the Al Thani Group and establish if Dr Musbahu Muhammad Bashir the promoter of Mafab Communications, is a front for vested interests”, the statement said.
