The Nigeria Communications Commission, NCC, has arrested four people involved in selling unregistered SIM cards in Jigawa state.
NCC’s Head of Enforcement Unit, Salisu Abdu, disclosed this while briefing journalists in Dutse.
He said that the suspects were arrested at Hakimi Street and Dutse New Market in collaboration with the state command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.
According to him, the suspects were apprehended after the commission received an intelligence report about their activities in the area.
The official said that the NCC was the sole regulator of all telecommunication companies in Nigeria.
He said the commission was also able to confiscate about 70 pre-registered SIM cards during the raid.
