A robbery victim, Nonye has narrated her ordeal to Nigerians. Nonye who took to her Twitter page on Thursday, January 7th, 2021 lamented that she was told by her network providers that she cannot retrieve her SIM because the Federal Government has banned the process due to the National Identity Number (NIN).
She wrote; “I was robbed by four men and one of them held a cutlass to my face. God. This happened yesterday night at Herbert Macaulay Way, Yaba, when I was heading home. They took my phone and my wallet which had my ATM cards, Valid ID cards and house key. One of them pulled my necklace with force which even scratched my neck. They took EVERYTHING and left.”
“My God. I am still in shock. I managed to block my ATM cards early this morning of which one of the account is empty. I went to my network provider to retrieve my sim and was told that I cannot retrieve the sim or even get a new one as the process has been banned by the FG due to the NIN registration issue. My mental state is a huge mess right now. I don’t even know where to start from. God.”
“My sim is an Airtel sim. Do you know how frustrating it is to be told that you cannot retrieve your sim? The country just makes everything worse. I have cried from frustration, anger and pain. I don’t know what to do. I feel so helpless. Where do I really start from?”
