We Can’t Track, Leak Phone Calls — NCC

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has said Nigerian law does not permit it to track or leak phone calls or conversations as claimed.

The commission stated this while refuting allegations of her tracking and leaking telephone calls.

Its Director of Public Affairs, Reuben Muoka stated this in a statement on Tuesday.

Muoka affirmed that the commission had been inundated with enquiries on claims of telephone “tracking” and “leakage” by some individuals and groups on social media.

He said that the commission “denies the allegations in their entirety.

“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’s spokesman said NCC would not take the allegations likely.

Muoka said:

“We have reported the allegations, which we take seriously, to relevant security agencies for proper investigation and necessary action.”

This follows a supposed leakage of a phone conversation between the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the February 25 election, Peter Obi, and the Founder of Living Faith Church, David Oyedepo.
