Benin’s telecommunications regulator has withdrawn the operating licence of Nigerian mobile telecoms company, Globacom in a dispute over new terms.
The regulator, ARCEP-Benin, said that it took the decision after negotiations with Glo Mobile Benin to renew its licence broke down earlier this month after the company refused new conditions imposed by the government.
Glo Mobile Benin said it had over 1.6 million subscribers in 2015, according to the most recent statistics available on ARCEP’s website.
