The telecom regulator of Benin has withdrawn the license of the local unit of the Nigerian mobile telecommunications company Globacom in a dispute over new conditions, according to a document released Tuesday.
The regulator, ARCEP-Benin, said it had made the decision, after negotiations with Glo Mobile Benin, to renew its license broken down earlier this month after the company refused the new conditions imposed by the government.
The heads of the parent company, owned by Nigeria's billionaire Mike Adenuga, were not immediately available for comment.
The ARCEP document did not say what the government’s new conditions were, but a source close to the regulator, who asked not to be named, said they included an increase in the cost of the licence.
Glo Mobile Benin said it had over 1.6 million subscribers in 2015, according to the most recent statistics available on ARCEP’s website.
Globacom also operates mobile networks in Nigeria and Ghana.
