The committee, therefore, recommended the sanction of the company for disregarding the summon of the lawmakers.
The House Committee on Telecommunications was asked to “ensure that GloMobile is sanctioned by NCC for total disregard to the call of the House of Representatives; having deliberately refused to receive an invitation letter from the House; deliberately refused to submit and also refused to attend the investigative hearing on a subject matter in which Glomobile is one of the major Stakeholders.
The House directed the NCC to sanction all mobile network operators whose agents are involved in aiding and abetting SIM swap fraud in Nigeria and compel them to adhere strictly to guidelines and to serve as a deterrent to future offenders. The House also resolved that “National Identification Number as required by section 27 of the NIMC Act No. 23 of 2007, be adopted as a requirement by MNOs for SIM registration – by linking National ID to a SIM card number, and validation/verification of a customer’s identification credentials against the central government identity database.”
