The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has refuted allegations of tracking and leakage of telephone calls, saying it does not and cannot carry out such acts by law.

The NCC’s Director of Public Affairs, Reuben Muoka, in a statement, noted that the commission had been inundated with enquiries on claims of telephone “tracking” and “leakage” by some individuals and groups on social media.

According to Muoka, 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.
