Ife Ogunfuwa Telecommunication operators retain the records of former users of old SIM cards in their archives for legal reasons, the Chairman, Association Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Ni
geria, Gbenga Adebayo, has said.
Adebayo said, “The record of the subscriber that has used the SIM card remains on the system for a bit of time. The reason is that for legal purposes. “When there is a new user that has been registered on the SIM card, you create a separate file for it. The records of the old and new users are not linked at all,” Adebayo added.
Akinyode said Okolie’s detention was unlawful because he had the receipt for the purchase of the SIM card and all other documents. According to the Truecaller representative, if there is any reason a user does not want their details to be on Truecaller, they can un-list themselves. Speaking on how mistaken identity of SIM card users could be addressed, the President, Association of Telecommunication Companies of Nigeria, Mr Olusola Teniola, explained that there were different levels of verification of SIM registration details.According to him, after the registration process of subscribers, the data are verified and validated against other records.
