The Nigerian Communications Commission, has warned Nigerians against allowing their National Identification Numbers to be linked to another person’s Subscriber Identity Module cards.
NCC Director, Consumer Affairs Bureau, Efosa Idehen, made this known during a Town Hall meeting yeaterday.
“If the person whose SIM is linked to your line uses their own SIM to commit crimes or any form of atrocity, it is easy to be traced to you and then you will be dealt with because the SIM is linked to your NIN,” he said.
“On no account should a telecom consumer, however circumstanced, allow another person to register a SIM with another person’s NIN,” he added.
The commission, also stated that the October 31,2021 deadline for NIN-SIM integration remains sacrosanct.
