Johannesburg - South Africa's MTN Group will challenge in a Nigerian court a fine imposed by the West African nation's telecoms regulator, saying on Thursday the watchdog had no legal grounds to order the penalty.
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) hit MTN with a $5.2 billion penalty in October for failing to disconnect users with unregistered SIM cards, prompting weeks of lobbying by Africa's biggest mobile phone company to get the fine reduced.
