NIN-SIM: SERAP Sues Buhari Over Blocked Lines

Following his failure to order unblocking of the telephone lines of over 72 million telecommunication subscribers barred from making calls on their SIMs, Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has filed a lawsuit against the President Muhammadu Buhari.

The Federal Government had directed telecommunications companies to block outgoing calls on all unlinked lines, as the deadline for the verification expired on March 31.

In the suit number FHC/L/CS/711/2022 filed at the Federal High Court in Lagos, SERAP sought an order to set aside the directive by Buhari to telecommunications companies to block outgoing calls on all unlinked lines without due process of law.
