Lagos - Five telecoms firms have been restrained from suspending All Progressives Congress, (APC), campaign fund-raising platform, Vanguard reports.

A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on Wednesday, restrained Etisalat, MTN, Glo, Airtel and Visafone following an application by the APC.

Trial judge, Justice Ibrahim Buba restrained them from giving effect to a directive by the Nigerian Communications Commission which warned them against running political promotions that will portray them as being partisan.

The judge ordered the telecoms firms to continue to run, operate and/or restore to its full operative use the SMS Code platform 35350 created for fund-raising for the applicant’s presidential campaign.
