NCC finally speaks on Peter Obi and Bishop Oyedepo’s audio conversation leakage claims

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has denied claims of telephone tracking and leakage against it in the media.

The NCC Director of Public Affairs, Reuben Muoka debunked the allegation on Tuesday, April 4, 2023, saying that the commission had been inundated with enquiries by the media on allegations of telephone “tracking” and “leakage” against it by some individuals and groups in the social and conventional media.

Denying the allegations in their entirety, NCC noted that by the provisions of the Nigerian Communication Act (NCA) 2003 and other extant laws of the federation, it does not and cannot “track” nor “leak” telephone conversations of anyone.

NCC informed that it reported the allegations, which it took seriously, to relevant security agencies for proper investigation and necessary action.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the commission denies these allegations and advises the public to disregard them,” it added.

Meanwhile, former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Timi Frank, has faulted the leakage of the conversation between the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) and Bishop David Oyedepo of the Living Faith Church Worldwide.

The Bayelsa activist, in a statement, yesterday, described the act allegedly perpetrated by the Department of State Services (DSS) as highly unprofessional and smacks of partisanship.

According to him, the DSS has metamorphosed into an intelligence arm of APC and called for total overhaul of the security outfit.

Frank called on the DSS to wake up and restore the lost confidence Nigerians have in its leadership.

He said:

“It is worrisome when the most sophisticated security agency in the country descends into the arena of politics to favour the ruling party.”
