Bwara said in a recent radio interview that while Nigerians venting their discontent are easily traceable because they use domestic internet services, thieves evade tracking by tapping internet services from abroad.
According to him, “Nigeria has a regulatory agency that has a database of Nigerians and their phone numbers. There is also an agency responsible for internet service provision, and if you use an internet service that is covered in Nigeria, they can trace your location through your IP address.
“If you use Starlink, we can’t track it because Starlink is not registered in Nigeria, it’s in space. That’s the problem they have in Ukraine and Russia. Most of the time these terrorists are using cell phone service from neighboring countries, not Nigeria, so that makes it tricky.”
