Three Etisalat registration agents, who allegedly swapped Etisalat sim card belonging to the governor of Jigawa State, were on Tuesday arraigned in a Tinubu Magistrates’ Court, Lagos.

The accused, Akinwale Ayodeji, 39; Kamal Sulaiman, 36; and Yusuf Sulaiman, 26; were arraigned on a three-count charge of conspiracy, illegal sim swap, and intent to defraud and steal, Vanguard reports.

Prosecutor Ben Ekundayo told the court that the three accused had between June 1 and July 3, in Lagos swapped Etisalat sim card number 08092241417.

He said that the management of Etisalat telecommunications got a report that the line belonging to Jigawa governor was illegally swapped.

“The sim swap was traced to Akinwale and Kamal, who claimed that Yusuf gave them the number.

“They did not follow the laid down process nor did the proper documentation, which has been the usual practice of the agents,” he said.

The Magistrate, Mr Ade Adefulire, said that the three accused must provide one responsible surety each and the sureties must be account owners in banks in Lagos.

The case was adjourned till October 6 for mention.

Lalasticlala

Ok...have some questions:

Was the line assigned or purchased by the governor?

Was the line active at the point of swap?

Was the line used for voice or data (modem) when it was assigned to the governor?

Was the line a private or official one for the governor?

The trial should be done in Jigawa State - home of the government rather than Lagos?

Was the line deactivated before it was reassigned to the accused?

But where is lalasticlala sef

This man up there sef ^ ^ ^

I don't really understand this but something like this happened to me(a poor man) twice. Its only sad I don't have the money to sue them...In fact as I type this, the vow not to ever use etisalat sim is still very active. I removed my etisalat sim sometime ago to enable me enjoy an awoof that was going on with airtel...after the awoof, I removed my airtel sim to continue where I stopped with etisalat, it was telling me "invalid sim".. ...so I decided to try the line with another phone to see if I ll experience the same thing I experienced few years ago...and to my greatest surprise, one igbo man from anambra(I guess) picked up to tell me WRONG NUMBER
...I said "Nna, this is my line na", he said "you no sabi your line again?..Na [I]eightysalat[/i] give me this number"..I never got that angry my entire life as I said "Bleep you, Bleep etisalat" b4 hanging up.
