In a lengthy post shared on Facebook, Ivan Eagle Lawson claimed that the incident occurred in Minna, Niger State, where the deceased reportedly experienced severe chest tightness, shortness of breath, and weakness shortly after returning home from church.

According to Lawson, Mr. Nwatu attempted to contact his wife through WhatsApp and by phone using the MTN network, but his calls and messages allegedly failed to connect despite having an active data subscription.
The Facebook user alleged that Mr. Nwatu repeatedly tried to regain network access by switching airplane mode on and off, but his messages remained pending.
According to the account, neighbors eventually forced their way into the house after becoming concerned when Mr. Nwatu failed to respond to knocks on his door. They reportedly found him lying on the bedroom floor in distress.
The post claimed that before he could be transported to the hospital, Mr. Nwatu began convulsing and later died.
Lawson said the deceased was 43 years old and is survived by his 36-year-old wife, a teenage daughter, and two young sons under the age of nine.
He wrote: “MTN Nigeria thankyou very much for k!IIing Mr. Nwatu, based in Minna.
My very good follower’s husband.
Thankyou very much for ensuring that his WhatsApp calls and phone calls weren’t connecting when he started feeling chest tightness and weakness of his legs, and tried to call for someone to carry him to the hospital.
Thankyou very much for making a 36 year old woman a widow with 1 teenage daughter and 2 boys under 9 years old.
Mr. Nwatu woke up healthy this morning, went to church with his wife and after service by 2pm, returned home alone, leaving his both youngest kids with the wife who was attending some church women group get-together.
His 13 year old first daughter is currently in boarding school in Lagos.
What Mr. Nwatu didn’t immediately tell his wife was that he was beginning to have shortness of breath as he sat in the keke-napep back home.
What Mr. Nwatu didn’t tell his wife was that there was a persistent ringing sound behind his ears and a dull throbbing headache around his occiput.
Mr. Nwatu got home, took a paracetamol and tried to sleep but started feeling a crushing weight on his chest.
He tried to stand up and stroll to the kitchen thinking it was hunger; and realized his legs couldn’t support his body and he was laboring to breathe.
He opened his WhatsApp and tried to call his wife, but there was no network reception.
He texted her and it didn’t go.
It didn’t even tick once.
Just a pending timer despite switching in and out of airplane mode repeatedly.
He checked his MTN balance and saw he had over 8gb left.
Why then wasn’t he getting Internet access?
Mr. Nwatu has an Airtel number on his other phone, but the phone was dead due to flat battery.
Mr. Nwatu was forced to lay helpless on his rugged bedroom floor and try to catch his breath while praying for a miracle.
According to reports, the caretaker of the house they lived in showed up at their front door to deliver a message because he met the door locked from inside.
No one responded despite him persistently knocking and calling out.
Caretaker tried to call Mr. Nwatu on phone as the known head of the house, and finds Mr
Nwatu’s number unreachable.
Naturally he calls the wife and she tells him she’s attending an event within her church premises, but her hubby is at home.
Caretaker insists that no one is responding to his knocks at their front door.
Mrs Nwatu starts calling hubby and finds his both lines switched off and unreachable.
She tries WhatsApp.
Not reachable.
Wife panics and calls caretaker, but caretaker suddenly isn’t picking either.
She calls her next door neighbor and explains the situation to him.
Neighbor turns around the backyard to Mr. Nwatu’s window calling his name.
He hears a voice mumbling weakly from the inside.
One word:
‘Please call my wife’.
Neighbor panics, runs to call another neighbor and they break down the sitting room front door, sprint into the bedroom and find Mr. Nwatu lying on the floor, sweating profusely and breathing like a woman in labour.
While one of the neighbors calls his wife to get a Bolt cab on her way over, so they move Mr. Nwatu to the hospital, the other neighbor proceeds to ask him how he ended up on the floor, and Mr. Nwatu narrates to them how he got back from church with a persistent headache, tightness of the chest and shortness of breath— leading to his collapsing.
Before the wife shows up, Mr. Nwatu suddenly starts writhing, convulsing and foaming from the mouth.
Before all 3 of them can heft Mr. Nwatu’s limp body out into the cab his wife had hailed and rush her husband to the hospital, Mr. Nwatu had given up the ghost.
He was moved to the mortuary an hour ago.
Mr. Nwatu had almost 3 whole hours to save his life and have the opportunity to see Monday.
But MTN Nigeria stripped him of it.
He was only 43.
If you are a Nigerian reading this post, this MTN pandemic concerns you!!
Over the last 15 months, MTN Nigeria network quality has depreciated from the worst to unbelievably intolerable!
Especially their Internet service!!
You can only have manageable Internet access if you are using their optic fiber network broadband Internet service popularly known as MTN FibreX.
This service with modem costs between N30,000 to N45,000 to set-up, install and subscribe on as a first-time user, and subsequently N30,000 a month for their unlimited monthly plan.
How many struggling Nigerians can afford this in today’s economy?
MTN we are tired of dying because of inability to connect to the Internet on medical emergencies to save our lives.
MTN we are tired of buying data that crawls and trips off every 3 minutes of browsing.
Snail-paced data that you people drink and empty with the speed of a Cheetah on steroids.
MTN we are tired of toggling our flight mode on and off 20,000 times a day just to get network reception to receive good morning messages on WhatsApp.
How many more Mr. Jonah Nwatus will there be before you people give Nigerians value for our money?
How many more innocent women will you make widows?
If you are a Nigerian and this pops up on your feed, please share it and use the #MTNCOMPENSATEUS and #WEMUSTNOTBUYMTNFIBREX hashtag.
There is going to be a nationwide social media protest where Nigerians put their feet firmly down and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
There may be a March too.
ENOUGH OF THE CRAPPY, FRUSTRATING NETWORK AND EXORBITANT DATA RATES!!!!!!!
MTN NEEDS TO COMPENSATE US BY IMPROVING THEIR SERVICE, REDUCING THEIR DATA RATES AND PAYING EVERY VERIFIED NIGERIAN MTN CUSTOMER COMPENSATION OF AIRTIME, CASH OR DATA FOR ALL THE PAIN THEY HAVE CAUSED US!
WE MUST NOT ALL BUY THEIR MTN FIBRE-X.
There should be a USABLE package to suit every one’s budget.
Irrespective of your status in society as a Nigerian, FUNCTIONAL and EFFICIENT Internet access should NOT be a prayer point!!
We have endured this nonsense long enough and we are tired of losing our lives because MTN’s constantly BAD telecommunications service prevents us from communicating and getting help in moments of crisis and urgency.
I’m taking this campaign to X, TikTok and Instagram even though I’m not very active there”

Follow Our WhatsApp Channel here
Chakraborty, 42, died at Silchar Medical College and Hospital on Thursday morning, October 1, 2026, after being taken there for advanced medical treatment.
According to reports by India Today, the ambulance carrying Chakraborty was stopped at the Ramnagar ISBT point in Silchar on Wednesday, September 30, as police cleared the road for the Chief Minister’s convoy.

Video footage showing the ambulance waiting as the Chief Minister’s convoy passed through the area was later circulated online.
The Times of India reported that four police personnel who were on duty during the incident were suspended after the ambulance was stopped to make way for the convoy.
Following the incident, Sarma apologised to Chakraborty’s family and described the stoppage of the ambulance as unacceptable.
The Chief Minister said:
“Emergency medical care must take precedence over VIP movement,”
He added:
“Under no circumstances should the movement of ambulances or other emergency vehicles be impeded on account of VIP convoy arrangements.”
Sarma also warned that guidelines governing convoy movements must be implemented “in letter and spirit.”
However, while expressing condolences following Chakraborty’s death, the Chief Minister said the patient’s underlying medical condition and the ambulance’s brief stoppage were not connected.
Sarma also said that anyone occupying the position of Chief Minister was “merely a chief servant” and stated that “new Assam has no place for VIP culture.”
Chakraborty’s wife, meanwhile, said the family had lost its breadwinner and appealed to the Chief Minister for financial assistance.
She said:
“He has left behind two children. I urge the chief minister to help my family survive in the absence of it lone earning member,”
