Human rights activist, Aisha Yesufu, says the data of Nigerians is not safe with the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, who has a record of sympathising with terrorists.
Yesufu made this known on Friday in an exclusive interview with
The PUNCH. She was reacting to a directive by the Nigerian Communications Commission that Nigerians will have to submit the International Mobile Equipment Identity of their phones to the commission from July.
The IMEI number is a 15-digit number unique to each phone. With it, a phone can be tracked and located irrespective of the cellular number in it.
