The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has made it clear that it has no constitutional and legal mandate and has not been involved in phone tracking and leakages.
In a statement today, April 4, the Commission’s spokesman, Reuben Muoka said that the Commission has practically nothing to do with the allegations flying around.
“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.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the Commission denies these allegations and advises the public to disregard them.”
