The Nigerian Communications Commission , NCC, has opened public hearing over a new regulation to authorise lawful interception of calls made on networks by security officials.
But stakeholders at the public hearing said such regulation must pass through the process of law making to make ensure that the development did not invalidate rights guaranteed by the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
Speaking at the event in Abuja yesterday, the Executive Vice Chairman of the NCC, Dr. Eugene Juwah, stated that the forum was part of the rule-making process.
When the regulation comes into force, it is expected to provide the framework for authorised security officials to intercept calls or messages that they have reasons to believe put the lives of individuals or security of a community at a risk.
