The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) said it will impose the highest possible penalties on any of its licenses implicated in the masking of international telephone calls.
This regulatory body announces Monday in Lagos, in a statement by the Director of Public Affairs, Mr. Tony Ojobo. The statement says it's likely that the operating licenses of some of the relevant exchanges and other licenses involved in the training may be suspended or suspended in the coming weeks.
Twillio, an online Communication Glossary, says that secret calling is a technique used in e-commerce to protect private personal phone numbers of buyers and sellers. It uses a short-lived telephone number for each party, allowing them to talk seamlessly over a specified period of time.
Suspicious licenses include Medallion Communications Ltd, Interconnect Cleaning House Nig. Ltd, Niconnx Communication Ltd, Breeze Micro Ltd, Solid Interconnectivity and Exchange Telecommunications Ltd. It said that the commission and senior operative from the country's security services met representatives of licencees in Abuja office on January 24.
The statement said that firms face some evidence in the commission's disposal and given another opportunity to defend themselves. "In accordance with the provisions of the Nigerian Communications Act and its subsidiary regulations, the granted licenses are granted until January 31 to reflect the reason why the commission should not revoke or suspend their operating licenses.
“This is in view of evidence of their involvement now at the disposal of the commission and the security agencies. Because of the critical impacts of this nefarious practice on national security and consumer experience, the commission is determined to decisively deal with any of its licencees implicated in the scam. We do not want to expose the country to any further embarrassment. At the very least, serious sanctions would be imposed on them, if it is found that their involvement does not justify revocation of their licences,” the statement said.
The statement added that customer experience data monitored by the commission indicated that there was a noticeable reduction in the volume of masked calls being received by subscribers. It said that this was reflective of the very aggressive measures the commission had taken to deal with the menace. “Nonetheless, we are not taking anything for granted. We will continue to aggressively monitor all our licencees, regardless of their sizes or the scope of their operations. ”Anyone found wanting would be strictly dealt with in accordance with the law,” it said.Räägi sõbrale... #AFRICA ... spill TEA ABOUT THE TOPIC ABOVE....
