<h4><strong>NIMC Arrests Suspects In NIN Illegal Deals</strong></h4>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><a href="https://openlife.ng/"><strong>OpenLife</strong> Nigeria</a> reports that the National Identity Management Commission has been notified of the activities of unauthorised individuals or organisations purportedly asking for the submission of the National Identification Number (NIN) of Anambra residents in exchange for money.</p>
<p>According to an official statement signed by Dr. Kayode Adegoke,Head, Corporate Communications Unit of NIMC, the action contravenes the NIMC Act No 23, 2007, Data Protection Act, and Cyber Crime Act.</p>
<p>The statement clarified that upon receiving the information on the activities of the unscrupulous individuals, NIMC, in conjunction with the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Police Force</p>
<p>(NPF), swiftly arrested the culprits behind the illegal collection of the NIN. They are currently being interrogated and would be made to face the full wrath of the law.</p>
<p>The Commission, therefore, advises Anambra State residents and Nigerians to avoid</p>
<p>submitting their NINs to unauthorized individuals, organizations, or platforms, as the</p>
<p>Federal Government and NIMC have not authorized this. Anyone caught will be sanctioned</p>
<p>appropriately.</p>

<p>At no time should NIN holders give out their NINs for monetary compensation. This is</p>
<p>against the laws of the Federation. Anyone caught will be dealt with appropriately.</p>
<p>The Commission had earlier issued a statement warning Nigerians against sharing their</p>
<p>NIN or Data with anyone or on any fictitious sites. The NIN can only be used by the holders</p>
<p>to access government or private sector services, and it must be verified.</p>
<p>The Commission has taken necessary measures to curb the activities of these unscrupulous</p>
<p>individuals. The general public is hereby advised to reach out to the <a href="https://www.vanguardngr.com/">Commission</a> whenever</p>
<p>they notice the indiscriminate collection of NIN via: nimccustomercare@nimc.gov.ng;</p>

<p>NIMC wishes to thank all security agencies for their support towards the credibility and success of the NIN enrolment project.</p>
