The Transparency Nigeria Group has asked 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 recently announced as successful bidders for Nigeria’s 3.5 GHz licences.
Accusing the company of being a front, the group said Monday in a statement signed by Umar Dadiyata, a copy of which was made available toNews Express: “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.”
