Insecurity: Pantami accuses security agencies of not using NIN-SIM policy to track criminals

The Nigerian Police Force and other security services are allegedly refusing to adopt the NIN-SIM policy to combat insecurity in the nation, according to former Minister of Communication and Digital Economy Isa Ali Pantami.

In response to a query from an X user who questioned why the policy had cost so much money and still insecurity persisted, Pantami stated that implementing the policy had proven to be a significant challenge.

This came after the former minister revealed that one of his friends had offered to pay half of the N60 million ransom that the robbers demanding to free Alhaji Mansoor Al-Kadriyar’s six kidnapped children had asked.

The NIN-SIM policy has proven effective. But, Pantami noted, “it is to be requested that the relevant institutions fighting criminality make sure they use it effectively when a crime is committed.”
