Senator Shehu Sani criticized the National Communication Commission (NCC) and telecommunications companies for swiftly blocking the phone numbers of ordinary Nigerians while being slow to take action against numbers used by criminals, specifically bandits.
Expressing his dissatisfaction on social media platform X, he pointed out the efficiency of blocking SIM cards but questioned the delay in addressing those used by criminals for activities like ransom collection.
The statement suggests a concern about the apparent prioritization of blocking ordinary citizens' numbers over those associated with criminal activities, emphasizing the need for more effective measures against illicit phone use.
