I don't even know who's worse between DSS and EFCC.... Always going after soft targets to convince gullible Nigerians they're working.

beycity:
I think the network provider should be able to help but then, it’s Nigeria, nah one way traffic.

A computer can generate infinite digits, but still don't know why these folks recycle numbers.

That was how I bought Airtel Sim from Airtel office, 3 days later I start getting threats on WhatsApp on how I scammed them, that they'll find me no matter how long. Got threats from 3 different people and loan app were bombarding me with calls.

I had to returned the Sim, show them everything and asked them to erase my data linked to that number.

Segzy19:
Nigeria has a way of messing people up, and most of us and our institutions are complicit in it.

Yes, the man could have made an innocent mistake by buying the sim card by the roadside but then how did those SIM card find their way to the roadside? Who are those roadside sellers representing?
If the SIM were to be fake or unauthorized why would the SIM registration sail through and be approved?

I hope DSS does its work thoroughly...

Again, this is a lesson for us all to always follow the proper channel no matter how long and tedious it may be.

This not a roadside issues, even if you bought it from the main office it's still the same thing.

The one I bought was from Airtel office and I got threats 3 days after buying the Sim.

They should stop recycling numbers, it's dangerous.

beycity:

i honestly feel this nonsense idea of recycling numbers should stop.

Before the man bought the recycled sim card, they didn't arrest anyone. After buying the sim card,they arrested the innocent. This sounds fishy. MTN, Police and the real terrorist, former owner, should all be arrested to find out how and why they did nothing to the former owner and waited until after the sum card was recycled before arresting someone.

..did the man buy the sim card from the MTN or Airtel or glo office or from the road side?..if it's from the mobile network office they cannot sell a recycled sim card to him

what are you talking about?
The service providers in Nigeria normally recycle sim that are inactive for 3 months no new customers,so you can even register a new not knowing that it has been used by someone before.

DiarisGodoo:
See below

How is it my fault that you failed to understand simple English?
I said probably and not absolutely.


Abeg carry your OLODO brain dey go

This is terrible, if they can track sim why not a long time ago

okeke6969:
Are you their spokesperson?? With this your defence, no doubt, Nigeria will soon happen to you. Be typing balderdash.

I am not a spokesperson to the SSS but this is pure logic.
I would rather be a spokesperson to SSS than be a defender of bandits like you

classicfrank4u:
This country funny, so you guys didn't track it when the kidnappers used it to make calls, it is after the number has obviously been recycled you remembered how to track

And the recycling doesn't happen after one month of disuse


At least, 1 year must have passed for network to begin recalling dormant sims

It’s a hopeless and a country of particular concern as Trump labeled it

It is more than three months.. Initially 6 bit now I belive it has been increased

He bought and registered the sim, I can't see where he is at fault

Hismercy234:
Very simple case, get evidence when you bought it from the system and when the kidnapping was carried out. You don't need an expert lawyer to win this.

Bro, this is Naija, the security agencies are very dumb. The dumbest set of humans that ever existed are the ones ruling us and manning sensitive positions meant for intelligent minds in this country. It is just the product of a corrupt system.

omoadeleye:
As old as your papa is, he is still buying SIM at his age,

What about the SIM he has been using

So you didn't read the part where he said he was having problems with his SIM when he entered Lagos. And you are in a country where the cost of reactivating an old SIM is more expensive than buying a new one, and most of the time, the reactivation may never work. How do you explain that?

The sim is not fake, and it is not roadside like you are saying. I bought a sim card for my daughter on her Ipad and i registered it with my NIn on one of the MTN recognized outlet store during the registeration they even asked me to choose among a list of numbers that pop up during the registeration only for a few days she started getting alerts from one Access Bank account that i knew nothing about. clearly indicating that someone somewhere owns that number previously, what if the person has commiteed a crime previously only Goid will help us all in this shithole.

Why is network companies in Nigeria doing things they can't try in another country, example is Ghana, Airtel and MNT cannot try shits they do at Nigeria here in Ghana. Imagine reseller's customer number because he hasn't recharge it for three months, while the SIM card still in customer phone. Maybe the customer is in condition he can't change his phone for some months, and when he finally normal to use his number, the network will not connect and another person is using his line, receiving his transactions alert and etc. is very bad. Our leaders need to order the network companies to stop the practice. I bought mtn line in January, and a man continue calling asking her fiancee what is the problem that she can't call back or reply massage, few weeks later her family and relatives join the call. Until I go to mtn office here in Ghana to complain.mtn know how they solve the problem.

..but this same kidnappers use this sim card phone number to call their family for ransom but I have not seen the DSS tracking and tracing where those kidnappers a with the victims and go and attack, raid the kidnappers hidout and rescue the victims.. but it's an innocent person the DSS can track and trace but cannot track and trace the kidnappers, bandits they also use this phone to call for ransom even when the victims family reports to the DSS, police and security men

Nodogragra4me:

He bought and registered the sim, I can't see where he is at fault

his not at fault,imagine the crime has even exceeded more than 6 months yet they did nothing.
Make dem no traumatize the innocent men abeg

They sell recycled sim cards in mtn, glo, airtel. They have been doing that for many years. You are ignorant

emee701:

..at least you did well by informing me what the MTN, Airtel, glo office normally do..but there was no need to insult me.....at least you can reply to a person's comment without insulting the person....me I reply and give information on another person comment without insulting the person.... and the person appreciates it...so it's not when you are informing a person you must add insults to the information you gave the person..it's not good and does not look nice

This is very simple, check when the kidnapping took place and when the card was reassigned,then check the time the card was bought by the new owner, but Nigeria security, it's normal, food has landed, how would one know the activities of the former line user

what do you mean please?
But the guy said the truth na.

Kayberg:
I guess you're new to this…

I don't know why a seemingly simple matter can be made complicated in this country.
Ncc should do something about this recycled sim issue now? Must people suffer for things hey don't know? What kind of messed up country is this?
It's either they ban sim recycling or they totally delete any previous data before selling to a new person. People are suffering unnecessarily for things they don't know about all because of this issue.

When you call it a Zoo, they will start ranting

They should have data that can potentially nail or exonerate him.

Love800:

If anyone calls you, speaking Hausa language, Oga you have bought a recycled SIM.

The DSS are silly

Can't they reference the time of purchase/registration to the time of the crimes by bandits?

Why didn't they use the same vigor to arrest the criminals when they were using the line?
Na civilians their power dey gree

They have the records of all registered SIM active and non active so the SIM was not picked from the road rather reprinted. The worst part is that the person information will still be on the SIM

stuffs2002:
The SSS are doing their job and I see no reason why you should be upset.
Just try not to buy any SIM without the receipt and SIM pack

Yes. I should be upset. Had it been your brother or your father is the one held responsible for a crime he knew nothing about, by now, you would have been foaming in your mouth.

I don't understand this useless country.

That's how people tell me true caller brings out Ahmed Zuki as my name whenever I call them with my new line. No be person tell me to delist the number from my NIN.
