He has been discharged from his contracted responsibilities with Ericsson.[/quote_box_center]
“Ericsson views this incident in an extremely serious light. It is the result of a violation of its process that permits access to its mast sites. As a result, Ericsson has initiated immediate action to foil any similar attempts. Critical attention was given to all high masts and sites located in mountainous areas, i.e. locations attractive for illegal activities. In addition, the Site Access Process will be reviewed for all employees and third parties. All mast sites in Enugu and Port Harcourt regions have been audited while FM scanning was conducted.
