The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has pushed for a detailed investigation on allegations of telephone “tracking” and “leakage” made against the Commission by some individuals and groups in the social and alternative Media.
The Commission has denied the allegations in their entirety stating that 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 said it has reported the allegations to relevant security agencies for proper investigation and necessary action as it further 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.
Commission also urged the public to disregard the allegations.
