A Federal High Court in Lagos State has prevented the Federal Government from blocking SIM cards not linked to National Identity Numbers next month.
This was prior to the order by Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy to the Nigerian Communications Commission, to block all SIM cards not linked to NIN by April 9, 2021.
A former second National Vice-President of the Nigerian Bar Association and human rights lawyer, Mr Monday Ubani, filed an originating motion and asked the court to stop the Nigerian Communications Commission from disconnecting all SIM Cards not linked to NINs.
