The Federal Government has warned Nigerians against selling their SIM cards that are already linked with the National Identity Numbers (NIN), asserting that crimes committed with any SIM card would be traced for appropriate action.
Sounding the warning, the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Ibrahim Pantami said this has become necessary as 47.8 million Nigerians have linked their SIM cards with their NINs.
The Minister further urged subscribers to desist from selling their NINs or allowing others to use their NINs for registration. This is because any act committed with the SIM good or bad will be officially traced and attached to the NIN owner.
