There will be a massive military operation, already tankers, guntrucks and jets are moving towards zamfara forests.
Na today. Nothing will happen. U want to carry out military operations yet its already in the news. You want to shut down teleco it's in the news. All bandits need to do is relocate to another state afterall the forest straddles many states.

And so what if it’s already on the news?
Relocate to which state? It’s obvious you’ve not been following the news recently ‘cause similar security measures are in place in all the states that the forest straddles.

This was the first taught that came to me

If the presidency is not biased, the mole in the government will not be able to leak any information to these terrorists!

But we live in a state where the president proscribe sucesionist but sees these terrorists as people doing their business!

We live in a country where government make excuses for terrorists and thieves!

Let's see how it plays out!
You have a brain sir/ma, please try and think for yourself instead of following media propaganda.
Thank you.

They don't want the news of their atrocities to get out of Zamfara, abeg Zamfara people make una make videos, recordings of happenings after the suspension make una share, the whole world must hear of the atrocities of this failed govt. At a time when telcos should be one of the he most important tool in tracking down these terrorist and their sponsors they are been asked to suspend services, who is fooling who.

This is not he best approach. They know where the bandits leave. People give them money, foodstuffs, motorbikes etc. A lot of people have been kidnapped and released. By now, the security agents should have enough intel about the terrorists hideouts and operations. Shutting down communication networks will impose economic hardship on the people and further put thier lives in greater danger as criminals and bandits can now operate freely without fear of someone calling the security agents for help.

While this is going on;
Emergency lines should be activated.
Designated centers should be provided for people to go and make urgent calls.
Otherwise, we may witness another Afghanistan-like humanitarian crisis in Zamfara within the next two weeks.

These people have no idea how to solve Nigeria's many issues, they should just pack themselves out. They've done so much damage already.

Re: Insecurity: NCC Orders Shutdown of Telecom Sites In Zamfara State For 2 Weeks by REALretep(m):
Is this even constitutional...when the State is not in a state of emergency.
How can the government give such a blanket order.
This government is always looking for the easy way out... without minding the impact on lawful citizens
This action has to be resisted now because this yeye government will so abuse it if this first one goes according to their poorly thought-out plan
This is baffling embarassed

It's now obvious that the NIN linkage to phone number mandated by NCC was an effort in futility. I thought that was meant to trace calls and identify the bandit when they call to negotiate? Not a security expert but I can't see how shutting down th network would help secure the place.

Bandits kill four, abduct several others in Zamfara

Four people have been killed by bandits who invaded Ruwan Doruwa district in Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State.



The bandits who also abducted several others, invaded the town in the early hours of Friday September 3. Eyewitnesses said they started shooting sporadically, forcing many residents to flee for their safety.



A source told Channels Television that the gunmen killed four persons and embarked on house-to-house search for abduction. Funeral prayers of those killed, have been conducted.

The Federal Government, through the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), has ordered all telecom operators to shut down their networks in Zamfara State for two weeks.

A copy of the letter sent to Globacom below:-



Signed

Prof. Umar G. Danbatta (FNSE, FRAES, FA Eng, FNIEEE)
Executive Vice Chalirman/CEO, NCC
How clueless could a government be? Telecommunication services that should have been the backbone of tracing and curbing criminal activities, is now shut down.

Zamfara has been reseted to 18th century. Soon the whole of Nigeria will follow. May God help us.

I wonder. They asked us to do the NIN, we sheepishly obeyed. Claiming that it will wipe out 95% of terrorism and banditry. Now they want to switch off the whole network. So the whole system of agency banking is going to be paralyzed for two weeks. Tech people and remote staffs are going to be cut off from their source for the next two weeks. Nobody can call their doctor for emergency medical assistance. You cannot link up with your HMO. I wonder if they think about the multiplier effects before taking such drastic decision.
And funny enough, the terrorists may have a satellite phone like thuraya for seamless communication, so the whole purpose is defeated.
