Ufone was recently embroiled in an embarrassing mishap on Twitter. After posting an apology tweet, their Twitter has gone underground.
So what actually happened?
On June 2, some tweets with a political inclination were endorsed via the Ufone Twitter handle.
This sent the nation into a frenzy, of both anger and humor. This led the hashtag #BoycottUfone to start trending on Twitter.

Telenor also didn’t hold back and sought to take a dig at their rival.

Ufone has since apologized for the questionable activity on their Twitter handle with a promise to bring the responsible parties to justice.
We regret & apologize for the inappropriate tweets today. We are investigating the issue & action will be taken against those involved

But it has been over a week and Ufone’s Twitter handle remains dormant. The show must go on, Ufone. Brush it off!
