The
former governor of Osun State,Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola and the Osun
State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Tuesday, challenged MTN
Nigeria's claim that it could not provide Call Data Records (CDRs)
beyond three months for the phone line of any of its subscribers,
saying it was a lie.
Both Oyinlola and PDP had dragged the MTN Nigeria and Nigerian
Communication Commission (NCC) before a Federal High Court sitting in
Abuja on the grounds that the telecomunications outfit failed to
release the full CDRs of the suspended President of the Court of Appeal,
Justice Ayo Salami, to the National Judicial Council (NJC) which they
sought to rely in proving their claims that Salami was biased in the
judgment that sacked both the Osun and Ekiti states governors from
office.
The plaintiffs also countered the claim of MTN that it registered a
phone number in the name of one Tunde Folawiyo as governor of Lagos
State, arguing that no such person was at any time the governor of Lagos
State.
The plaintiffs further argued that MTN tampered with the call logs
which made the NJC panel to hold that the call logs of MTN, which it
received lacked authenticity and, therefore, could not be relied on to
indict him (Salami).
Meanwhile, MTN, in its statement of defence filed on Tuesday, claimed
it did not have the capacity to store and release CDRs beyond three
months.
Reacting to MTN's statement of defence, the former governor and his
prime witness, Adeolu Oyinlola, exhibited several call logs released by
the telecommunications outfit which spanned over six months.
