It added that ā€œby the provisions of the Nigerian Communication Act (NCA) 2003 and other extant Laws of the Federation, the Commission does not and cannot ā€œtrackā€ nor ā€œleakā€ telephone conversations of anyone.ā€

The NCC spokesman said the commission ā€œhas reported the allegations, which we take seriously, to relevant security agencies for proper investigation and necessary action.ā€
