The Federal Government is tightening the noose on the terrorists rampaging all over the North by pulling the technology rug from under their feet.<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\nThe Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) on Friday directed telecommunication operator, Globacom, to shutdown its services across Zamfara State with effect from September 3, 2021.<\/div>\n
\nThe move, the Commission said, is to help the security agents take actions that will help in addressing the security challenges in Zamfara State.<\/p>\n

A letter signed by Prof. Umar G. Danbatta, Executive Vice Chairman\/CEO of NCC, and addressed to the Globacom Managing Director\/CEO, which\u00a0pointblanknews.com<\/a>\u00a0has a copy said the shutdown would be reviewed after two weeks.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cThe pervading security situation in Zamfara State has necessitated an immediate shut down of all telecommunications services in the state from today, September 03, 2021. This is to enable relevant security agencies carry out required activities towards addressing the security challenges in the state,\u201d the letter read.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn line with this requirement, Globacom is hereby directed to shut down all sites in Zamfara State and any site(s) in neighbouring states that could provide telecommunication services in Zamfara State.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe site shutdown is for two 2 weeks (September 03- 17, 2021) in the first instance. Your urgent action in this regard is required,\u201d the letter concluded.<\/p><\/div>\n
