The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has denied in entirety the alledged telephone tracking and leakage by some individuals and groups in the social and alternative media.
The Commission in a statement signed by Reuben Muoka, Director of Public Affairs said, “The Commission wishes to make the following clarifications: The Commission denies the allegations in their entirety.
“By the provisions of the Nigerian Communication Act (NCA) 2003 and other extant Laws of the Federation, the Commission does not and cannot “track” nor “leak” telephone conversations of anyone.
“The Commission has reported the allegations, which we take seriously, to relevant security agencies for proper investigation and necessary action.
“The Commission restates its commitment to discharge its responsibilities to the Nigerian people in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; the NCA 2003; and other extant Laws of the Federation; and global best practices.”
The Commission therefore advised the public to disregard the allegations.
