  "summary": "The House of Representatives in Nigeria has threatened to issue arrest warrants against telecom CEOs who fail to attend a committee investigation into poor network services. The committee, chaired by Olumide Osoba, has given operators until November 4, 2026, to appear before the panel and explain recurring service failures affecting subscribers nationwide. The operators invited include MTN Nigeria, Airtel Nigeria, Globacom, Mafab Communications, and other licensed telecommunications companies. The committee rejected an attempt by the Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria to represent the companies, insisting that each CEO must personally account for their company's service delivery.",
