Nigeria's antitrust commission has announced it is investigating Uber's sudden departure from the West African nation. The ride-hailing platform shut down its operations last week without providing prior notice to its users. The probe focuses on the abrupt nature of the exit and the lack of warning, which may have violated local regulations. Uber's withdrawal leaves a gap in the Nigerian ride-hailing market, which has been competitive with local and international players. The commission's investigation aims to determine if Uber's actions breached competition or consumer protection laws. This development highlights ongoing regulatory scrutiny of tech companies operating in Nigeria.
