Refuting the allegation, the NCC, which is the Independent National Regulatory Authority in charge of the Telecom Industry, in a statement released on Tuesday, March 4 by Reuben Muoka, the NCC Director, for Public Affairs said the Commission cannot “track” nor “leak” telephone conversations of anyone by the provisions of the Nigerian Communications Act (NCA) 2003 and other extant Laws of the Federation.

The Commission noted that it takes the matter of telephone conversation leak serious and has therefore reported the matter to relevant security agencies for proper investigation and necessary action.

The statement read;

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has been inundated with enquiries by the media on allegations of telephone “tracking” and “leakage” made against the Commission by some individuals and groups in the social and alternative media.

The Commission wishes to make the following clarifications:

i. The Commission denies the allegations in their entirety.

ii. By the provisions of the Nigerian Communications Act (NCA) 2003 and other extant Laws of the Federation, the Commission does not and cannot “track” nor “leak” telephone conversations of anyone.

iii. The Commission has reported the allegations, which we take seriously, to relevant security agencies for proper investigation and necessary action.

iv. 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; 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.
