SIM card operator arrested in Computer village, Lagos

 


The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Lagos Command, has arrested a 35-year-old man, (name withheld) for allegedly dealing in illegal foreign Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) card business.

The NSCDC Lagos Commandant, Mr. Paul Ayeni, said that the suspect was arrested by the Joint Task Force of Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and NSCDC, Lagos Command on March 3, around 5p.m. at Computer Village, Lagos

He was caught during a surveillance patrol of “Operation Clamp Down on illegal Dealers of SIM cards” in Lagos State without formal licence and official registration with NCC.

The foreign SIM cards recovered include 46 Lycamobile; nine O2; three Gifgaff; and one H2O SIM card.

According to Ayeni, the action contravened Section 31 of the NCC Act, 2003, and Telecommunication Subscribers Registration Regulations (TSRR) Act, 2011.

“The suspect will be charged to court soon once the investigation is concluded,” the commandant added.

The suspect, upon interrogation, confessed to the allegations of selling foreign SIM cards without proper registration and licencing from NCC since February 2020.

“I buy foreign SIM cards through different vendors.

“The cost prices range from N4,000 to N7,000 and each sells for N10,000 depending on the country like the United Kingdom and U.S.’’, the suspect said.

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement.

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963.

Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role. Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imp...
