Former Kaduna State Senator, Shehu Sani has reacted to shared images on X, formally known as Twitter of terrorists, disguised as bandits and kidnappers, flaunting their ransom money on social media.
Recall that a few days ago, a security expert, Zagazola Makama shared pictures of individuals posing with large sums of cash in N1000 denominations, with one image featuring a bandit sitting on a motorcycle with a rifle beside him.
Another image shows that the currency notes were arranged on a floor.
Zagazola had written, “They are now posing with the ransom money. Showing that they are balling.”
In an apparant reaction to the visuals, Sani, who since he left the senate, has become a public commentator, took to his official X handle on Monday to ask some questions.
The ex federal lawmaker asked how the terrorists were able to connect thier SIM with NIN or NIN to SIM.
He further asked the whereabouts of the people who work at National Identity Management Commission, NIMC.
“Terrorists from Zamfara and Sokoto States have repeatedly recorded their content and posted it on social media. How did they connected their SIM with NIN or NIN to SIM or all those jargon?
Where are those NIMC people?,” Sani wrote on his x handle.
NIMC operates and regulates matters of national identity in Nigeria with services covering National Identification Number (NIN) enrolment and issuance, National e-ID card issuance, identity verification as well as data harmonization and authentication.
National Identity Management Commission [NIMC]. Established by the NIMC Act No. 23 of 2007, the NIMC has the mandate to establish, own, operate, maintain and manage the National Identity Database in Nigeria, register persons covered by the Act, assign a Unique National Identification Number (NIN) and issue General Multi-Purpose Cards (GMPC) to those.
