Court to have MTN CEO arrested



The Chief Executive Officer of MTN Ghana, Micheal Ikpoki is to be arrested on the orders of an Accra High Court for his consistent failure to appear in the court which is adjudicating a suit brought against the company. 

The court finds his behaviour and that of two other senior executives of the mobile telecommunications company, who have likewise failed to show up for the third time in court disrespectful and potentially contemptuous.

The other two are the Customer Relations Executive, Jemima Kotei, and Chief Technical Officer, Jon Hoffman.


Dr Atuguba sued SCANCOM Gh.Ltd. operators of MTN Ghana and the Attorney General for the truncation of service to his phone lines. He complained of unfair treatment and disregard for his complaints.

He asked the court to order a restoration of his telephone line which he claimed was illegally disconnected and award against MTN damages for a violation of his rights as well as loss of business.

The court ordered that the service provider restores the lines of the plaintiff, even as the case is prosecuted but MTN Ghana, according to Dr Atuguba has yet to comply with the court’s order.
