The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) says it has begun electronically verifying the type approval status of SIM-enabled devices to identify and prevent fake, cloned and non-compliant equipment from connecting to telecommunications networks.

Edoyemi Ogoh, director of technical standards and network integrity at the commission, spoke on Tuesday at a news conference on the commission’s technical standards and network integrity initiatives in Abuja.

Type approval is the regulatory process through which the NCC certifies that telecommunications equipment meets established technical requirements before it is sold or used in Nigeria.

Ogoh said the enhanced compliance framework would strengthen oversight of devices imported, sold and used in Nigeria.

He said the framework would enable the commission to verify devices against its type approval requirements, improve network performance and protect consumers from equipment that does not meet applicable technical standards.

“We have also ensured that devices currently in stock are appropriately onboarded and that devices imported into Nigeria going forward are properly verified and authenticated,” he said.

“This will provide a more effective mechanism for identifying non-compliant, cloned, or fake devices and prevent them from connecting to our networks.”

He added that the commission’s initiative followed the issuance of its type approval business rules in August 2024 and consultations with original equipment manufacturers, importers, dealers, telecommunications operators, government agencies and industry associations.

He said the commission had also worked with the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) and other stakeholders across the device supply chain to support implementation.

According to Ogoh, under section 132(2) of the Nigerian Communications Act 2003, communications equipment intended for sale or use in Nigeria must obtain type approval from the commission.

He said the enhanced framework would improve compliance with the requirements and help ensure that devices connecting to Nigerian networks are compatible with network infrastructure.

The director urged consumers to confirm the type approval status of SIM-enabled devices before buying them.

Ogoh said buyers should ask sellers whether a phone, tablet, modem, point-of-sale terminal or other SIM-enabled device had received NCC type approval.

He said non-compliant equipment could create challenges for network performance and regulatory oversight, adding that effective enforcement would help protect consumers and improve the reliability of telecommunications services.

The director explained that the framework was designed to strengthen confidence in devices available in the Nigerian market while ensuring that manufacturers, importers and dealers comply with applicable standards.

‘PERSONAL INFORMATION WILL NOT BE ACCESSED’

Ogoh said the enhanced compliance framework was limited to device identification and type approval verification, adding that it did not give the commission access to personal information stored on users’ devices.

He said the system maintained device identification information, including international mobile equipment identity (IMEI) numbers, for regulatory purposes.

“The objective of the initiative is regulatory compliance relating to communications devices. It is not a surveillance tool and does not provide access to personal information stored on devices,” he said.

He further added that the framework did not provide access to users’ photographs, messages, contacts, financial information or the content of their communications.

According to the director, the commission would continue public awareness campaigns and stakeholder engagement to explain the initiative and the responsibilities of consumers and businesses.

He said the success of the framework would depend on cooperation among government agencies, telecommunications operators, manufacturers, dealers, consumer groups and the media.

Ogoh added that the commission remained committed to strengthening technical standards and protecting consumers as Nigeria’s telecommunications sector expands.

A former Yahoo boy reportedly closed a real estate deal worth ₦50 million in his first week at a new job, earning rewards from his employer, who later sacked an HR manager for raising concerns about the employee’s past.

The story was shared on X by a user identified as @Mikeliberation, who recounted how the young man, who allegedly lived in his compound, secured a job at a real estate company and quickly impressed his employer with his sales performance.

The employee reportedly received five per cent of the ₦50 million deal, while the company owner also rented a good apartment for him.

Recounting the experience, @Mikeliberation explained that the young man surprised his colleagues by closing a deal worth ₦50 million during his first week at the real estate company.

His performance reportedly earned him a commission of five per cent of the deal, alongside accommodation arranged by the company owner.

@Mikeliberation The X user wrote, “A former yahoo boy in my compound got a job at a real estate company.

“In his first week, he closed a deal worth ₦50 million. Everyone was shocked. The owner of the company gave him 5% of the deal and rented a good apartment for him.”

EMPLOYEE WINS TOYOTA COROLLA AND REFRIGERATOR

The young man’s performance reportedly continued to improve over the following three months, during which he closed more deals than some of his senior colleagues.

His achievements earned him additional rewards, including a Toyota Corolla and a refrigerator.

However, the success allegedly caused jealousy among some of his colleagues, who were reportedly unhappy with how quickly he was progressing in the company.

HR MANAGER REPORTS EMPLOYEE'S PAST TO BOSS

The situation reportedly escalated when the company’s HR manager approached the owner and raised concerns about the employee’s past.

The HR manager reportedly told the company owner that the young man had previously been involved in internet fraud and might eventually run away with the company’s money.

He said: “The HR manager went to the owner and told him that the young man was a former yahoo boy and might run away with the company’s money one day.”

The following day, the owner allegedly visited the office, praised the young man and gave him another ₦5 million.

“The owner sacked the HR manager immediately.

“The next day, the owner came to the office, hype the young man, and gave him another ₦5 million,” @Mikeliberation stated.

The story has drawn the attention of many X users, with several sharing their opinions on the incident.

Former Imo State Governor, Senator Rochas Okorocha, has been arrested by operatives of the Nigeria Police Force tonight, Monday, October 12, 2026, at REIZ Continental Hotel in central Abuja, over allegations of criminal conspiracy, forgery and impersonation.

The arrest comes after the former governor reportedly evaded repeated police invitations in connection with an ongoing criminal investigation, prompting the police to obtain a bench warrant for his arrest.

Okorocha was initially invited to the Force Headquarters, Abuja, on September 2, 2026, but the appointment was rescheduled to September 8 at the request of his lawyers, a date he failed to honour.

Tragedy in Ezi-Obodo Community Owerri West LGA as Former Councillor’s Sister, Miss Kasarachi Ajoku, Allegedly Killed by Suspected Armed Herders


A fresh tragedy has reportedly struck Ezi-Obodo Community in Owerri West Local Government Area of Imo State following the gruesome killing of a young lady identified as Miss Kasarachi Ajoku, a moi-moi seller and sister (relative) to the immediate past Councillor representing Ezi-Obowo/Ezi- Okele Ward 4, Rt. Hon. Chijioke Echendu.

Her lifeless body was reportedly discovered in a nearby bush around the Umuada Waterside axis of the community.

The tragic incident has heightened concerns over the security situation in Ezi Obodo and neighbouring communities, including Ihiagwa, Irete and Nekede, where residents have continued to express fears over reported security threats.

According to information accompanying a video circulating on social media on Friday, October 9, 2026, the deceased was found dead in a bush around the Umuada Waterside area of Ezi Obodo Community.

Her remains reportedly appeared swollen and decomposed, suggesting that she might have been dead some hours ago.

Voices heard in the viral footage accused suspected armed herders, allegedly operating within surrounding forests and bushes, of being responsible for the killing.

However, the circumstances surrounding her death and the identities of those responsible have yet to be independently established.

Meanwhile, ThePressman Newspaper gathered that Miss Kasarachi Ajoku was a sister and relative of the immediate past Councillor representing Ezi Obowo/Ezi Okele Ward 4 in Owerri West LGA, Rt. Hon. Chijioke Echendu.

When contacted by ThePressman Newspaper to confirm the circumstances surrounding the tragic incident, the former Councillor expressed grief over the death of his sister and disclosed that the family was taking her lifeless body to the mortuary.

In his emotional response, Rt. Hon. Chijioke Echendu lamented the incident, saying, “They just killed my sister ohhh, we are just taking her lifeless body to the morgue. I shall get back to you soonest.” 😢

His statement has further underscored the pain and distress reportedly experienced by the bereaved family following the tragic loss.

As of the time of filing this report, the Imo State Police Command had yet to issue an official statement on the incident.

The absence of an official position has left residents seeking clarification from the relevant authorities regarding the circumstances surrounding the reported killing and the measures being taken to investigate it.

Reacting to the development, concerned residents and social media users expressed grief, fear and frustration over what they described as persistent security challenges confronting their community.

One of the messages circulating on information platforms stated:

“Ezi Obodo Community in Owerri West LGA of Imo State has just lost another soul to the evil hands of some Fulani armed herders at Umuada Waterside on Friday, October 9, 2026.

“We really need help, honestly. The people of Owerri West LGA, please, let us come to our rescue. We are under siege.

“Let us keep clapping for those in authority, capacity this, capacity that. May God help us.”

The reactions reflect the growing anxiety among residents, who are calling on the Imo State Government and security agencies to urgently address the security situation and prevent further loss of lives in the area.

The tragic death has renewed calls for the government, in collaboration with the police and other relevant security agencies, to strengthen surveillance, intensify security patrols and conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Miss Kasarachi Ajoku’s death.

Residents are also urging the authorities to take decisive measures to protect lives and property, particularly in communities bordering forests and isolated bush paths, where they fear that security threats could expose residents to danger.

Members of the public who wish to view the circulating footage may visit the Facebook page, Dan Pressman. However, viewers are advised to exercise discretion because of the disturbing nature of the video.

As Ezi Obodo Community mourns the reported loss of Miss Kasarachi Ajoku, ThePressman Newspaper calls for a comprehensive investigation into the incident and urgent action to address the persistent insecurity affecting Owerri West and neighbouring communities.

The Imo State Police Command is expected to clarify the circumstances surrounding the reported killing and inform the public of any investigative steps being taken.

The authorities must also reassure residents that appropriate measures are being implemented to prevent further attacks and ensure that anyone found responsible is brought to justice.

The Imo State Government and relevant security agencies are urged to intensify efforts to tackle insecurity, investigate reported criminal activities and ensure that residents can live and conduct their daily businesses without fear.

May God comfort the bereaved family, bring peace to Ezi Obodo Community and protect the entire Owerri West Local Government Area from further tragedy.

May the soul of Miss Kasarachi Ajoku rest in peace, Amen.

Emmamay10:
it is a misplaced priority that needs to stop. I remember a banny that was constantly billing me for financial support, even though we are not into any relationships. She was just a church member. At times she would asked me for money to feed and to transport herself to work.

Suddenly, this lady bought an iPhone. I just shake my head. This is me that was using "a company phone".

After she bought the iPhone, the billing still continue. Well, i am happy i have systematically stop the billing for now.

Olukoyede spoke on Thursday in Abuja at an event marking the 80th birthday of Kanu Agabi, former attorney-general of the federation and minister of justice.

He said the EFCC receives more than 20,000 petitions relating to public corruption annually, describing the cases as “terrible”.

“I receive over 20,000 petitions in a year in respect to public corruption, all terrible. What is going on? Like every minute, public officers take money, and if you go through some of our case files you will weep,” Olukoyede said.

“The way people take national resources, as Nigerians we’re victims of these fraudulent activities. And we must come together for once in our lifetime and say no to the activities of some of our leaders.”

The EFCC chairman said some public servants enter office with less than N100,000 in their bank accounts but leave after three or four years with millions of dollars and naira traced to them.

He said some also build hundreds of houses while in office, adding that corruption is undermining Nigeria’s development.

“Somebody will spend three to four years as a public servant, but before he got to office he had less than N100 thousand in his account. By the time he’s leaving, we were able to trace several millions of dollars and naira to him,” he said.

“Some build 50 something houses, sometimes 200 houses. There’s no way a nation will develop with those kind of people in power, no way.”

Olukoyede said public servants must be able to account for their time in office, adding that accountability and transparency should be the guiding principles of public service.

Also speaking, Musa Adamu Aliyu, chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), said corruption thrives partly because of societal tolerance and weak systems.

“The major challenge of corruption in this country is that we tolerate the culture of corruption, that is why it is thriving. Secondly, we have systemic errors, our systems are weak,” Aliyu said.

The ICPC chairman called for integrity education in primary and secondary schools, urging Nigerians to engage members of Generation Z and Generation Alpha on the importance of integrity.

“We need to tell them that we want them to imbibe the culture of integrity,” he said.

The event was attended by members of the bench and bar, public office holders, civil society organisations (CSOs), academics and other stakeholders.

good one
