There have been allegations that MTN numbers, 08030004900 and
08066699666, belong to some serial killers, which they have been using
to take peoples lives when calls are received through them.
There are also claims that when calls are received through them, the receiver jumps into the Lagos Lagoon.
A message on WhatsApp read: “08030004600 and 08066699666: Warning: Do
not pick any of these numbers. They are severe killer numbers, which
was reported to have been killing people across the country. SAVE
LIVES!”
But responding to The Guardian enquiry on the matter, MTN Nigeria
Public Relations and Protocol Manager, Funso Aina, in an email, said:
“Please, note that there is no truth to this story, as we have already
communicated in all our social media channels.
“08030004900 was a telemarketing number, which is not in use at this time.”
