- Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Policy Communication, explained that it is difficult for Nigerian security agencies to track armed bandits who flaunt ransom payments on social media because these bandits use Internet services from abroad, unlike ordinary Nigerians who use domestic services and can be easily traced.
Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, explains why security agencies struggle to track armed bandits flaunting ransom payments on social media platforms such as TikTok.
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.”
In other news… New information has emerged on why BBNaija star Mercy Atang’s marriage to her husband unexpectedly ended.
The mother-of-one hosted a glamorous wedding in 2024, with photos and videos dominating social media. Mercy also shared the affectionate clip online at the time, proudly speaking about the special role her father-in-law assigned her after the ceremony.
However, the marriage only lasted a year. Messi later confirmed the split after a curious fan asked her about it on social media.
Following her confirmation, a social media user named Hector Babe claimed to know what led to the union’s breakup. According to her, Messi’s online lifestyle may have strongly influenced the outcome of the marriage.
Hector accused the reality star of constantly dancing and showing off her curves online, questioning why a married woman would engage in such content and who she was doing it for. She added that she was relieved that King David Oyekanmi had moved on.
Other fans also weighed in on the matter. One commenter suggested that Messi may have been too caught up in the glamor of celebrity life that led to her reluctance to move abroad to live with her husband.
Others claim they’ve always felt Macy wasn’t ready for marriage, speculating that she might be getting married primarily to “boost” her baby daddy rather than for a true commitment.
