Nigerian Communications Commission Denies Allegations of Telephone Tracking, Leakage

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has denied claims of telephone tracking and leakage against it in the media.

The NCC Director of Public Affairs, Reuben Muoka, debunked the allegations and stated that the commission does not and cannot “track” nor “leak” telephone conversations of anyone by the provisions of the Nigerian Communication Act (NCA) 2003 and other extant laws of the federation. NCC reported the allegations to relevant security agencies for proper investigation and necessary action. Meanwhile, Timi Frank, a former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), faulted the leakage of the conversation between the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) and Bishop David Oyedepo of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, allegedly perpetrated by the Department of State Services (DSS). Frank called for the total overhaul of the security outfit and for the DSS to restore the lost confidence Nigerians have in its leadership.
