MTN in 'leniency plea' over Nigeria fine

Nigeria's telecom regulator says it is looking into MTN's plea for leniency after imposing a $5.2bn (£2.7bn) fine on the South African-owned mobile firm for failing to disconnect unregistered line, Reuters news agency reports.
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) spokesman Tony Ojobo said the mobile phone giant had written a letter on 2 November admitting failure to disconnect unregistered Sim cards and pleaded for leniency, it reports.
The NCC said the fine remained in place but MTN's appeals may affect the payment deadline, which was set for today, Reuters adds.
