The commission insists that sell of already registered SIM cards by agents to the public remains a criminal offence.
Idehen stated that it was sad that fraudulently registered SIM cards were still sold in the open market in despite efforts by the regulatory agency to the contrary. He described the release of pre-registered SIM cards into the market as a national sabotage which is capable of eroding national security.
“We are, therefore, working on a legal framework to criminalise the release of fraudulently activated SIM cards to the market,” he said. He urged Network operators to be circumspect in their businesses, adding that going forward any infraction would cause the arrest and prosecution of all actors along the SIM card registration value chain.
Dare said that the move was for easy identification of users and for easy detection of crimes committed through the use of mobile phones.
