rights to privacy, dignity and<br \/>\nliberty.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>SERAP&#8217;s letter followed reports that some security agencies have<br \/>\nreceived presidential approval to access people&#8217;s personal details via<br \/>\nthe database of the National Identity Management Commission in the<br \/>\ncourse of carrying out their duties.<\/p>\n<p>In the letter dated 5 February 2022 and signed by SERAP deputy director<br \/>\nKolawole Oluwadare, the organisation said: &#8220;If your reported approval is<br \/>\nnot rescinded, millions of law-abiding Nigerians may feel that their<br \/>\nprivate lives are the subject of constant surveillance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>SERAP said: &#8220;The interference entailed by unlawfully or arbitrarily<br \/>\naccessing people&#8217;s personal details is far-reaching and must be<br \/>\nconsidered to be particularly serious.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to SERAP, &#8220;The reported approval to allow security agencies to<br \/>\naccess people&#8217;s personal details via NIN-SIM linkage without due process<br \/>\nof law directly interferes with the privacy, dignity and liberty of<br \/>\nindividuals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>SERAP also said, &#8220;Interference with an individual&#8217;s right to privacy is<br \/>\nnot permissible if it is unlawful or arbitrary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The letter, read in part: &#8220;The power to access individual&#8217;s details<br \/>\nraises serious concerns as to their arbitrary use by the authorities<br \/>\nresponsible for applying them in a manner that reduces human rights and<br \/>\ndemocratic principles by the monitoring and surveillance of millions of<br \/>\nNigerians.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is crucial to rescind the approval, and respect the autonomy of<br \/>\nindividuals to receive and share information of a personal nature<br \/>\nwithout interference from the authorities, if unintended adverse<br \/>\nconsequences are to be avoided.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The risk of arbitrary or abusive interference shows the importance for<br \/>\nyour government to comply fully with the requirements of legality,<br \/>\nnecessity and proportionality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The right to privacy allows Nigerians to hold opinions and exercise<br \/>\nfreedom of expression without arbitrary or illegal interference and<br \/>\nattacks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Private conversations of individuals &#8211; which belong to their intimate<br \/>\nsphere and contribute to their personal development &#8211; also enjoy strong<br \/>\nlegal protection and can only be limited based on the principles of<br \/>\nlegality, necessity and proportionality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The reported presidential approval to security agencies does not align<br \/>\nwith the principle that any restriction on human rights capable of<br \/>\nlimitation should be the least intrusive means possible, and shall be<br \/>\nnecessary and proportionate to the benefit sought.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Violations or abuses of the right to privacy might affect the enjoyment<br \/>\nof other human rights, including the right to freedom of expression and<br \/>\nto hold opinions without interference.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;SERAP notes that the right to privacy can enable the enjoyment of other<br \/>\nrights and the free development of an individual&#8217;s personality and<br \/>\nidentity, and an individual&#8217;s ability to participate in political,<br \/>\neconomic, social and cultural life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In relation to the requirement of legality, any limitation must be<br \/>\nexpressly, exhaustively, precisely, and clearly provided for in a law in<br \/>\nthe formal and material sense. It is not enough that the restrictions be<br \/>\nformally approved by the president or by any other competent body: they<br \/>\nmust also be sufficiently clear, accessible and predictable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Similarly, measures restricting enjoyment of the right to privacy must<br \/>\ncomply with the principle of proportionality, meaning that they must not<br \/>\nunduly interfere with other rights of the persons targeted.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the digital age, protecting the right to privacy requires<br \/>\nexceptional attention. While acknowledging the challenging issues that<br \/>\nyour approval may seek to address, SERAP is seriously concerned that<br \/>\nthis may be used as a pretext by security agencies to violate Nigerians&#8217;<br \/>\nright to privacy and other related human rights.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The undermining of the universality of fundamental human rights,<br \/>\nalongside the potential encroachment upon the enjoyment of the right to<br \/>\nprivacy raised by the presidential approval, suggests the urgent need to<br \/>\nreview the matter, and rescind your approval, consistent with<br \/>\nconstitutional and international standards.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;SERAP notes that the relationship between data principals and the<br \/>\nauthorities involves a power imbalance. Nigeria ought to provide the<br \/>\nleadership in developing a data protection framework that is fully<br \/>\nconsistent and compatible with the protection of the fundamental and<br \/>\ninalienable right to privacy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;According to reports, some security agencies have received your<br \/>\napproval to access people&#8217;s personal details via the database of the<br \/>\nNational Identity Management Commission in the course of carrying out<br \/>\ntheir duties. The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa<br \/>\nPantami reportedly conveyed the approval to the relevant security<br \/>\nagencies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr Pantami also reportedly stated that the approval would enhance<br \/>\nsecurity as it would help security operatives to go after kidnappers and<br \/>\nother criminals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The approval would now allow security agencies to access the data of<br \/>\nthe over 73 million Nigerians who have linked their National Identity<br \/>\nNumber with their SIM, and other people who may do so.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While the effectiveness of the fight against serious crime may depend<br \/>\nto a great extent on the use of modern investigation techniques, such an<br \/>\nobjective of general interest, however fundamental it may be, cannot in<br \/>\nitself justify the unlawful or arbitrary interference with the right to<br \/>\nprivacy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Unlawful or arbitrary access to people&#8217;s personal details would<br \/>\ncontravene section 37 of the Nigerian Constitution 1999 (as amended),<br \/>\narticle 17 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,<br \/>\nand article 5 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples&#8217; Rights, which<br \/>\nprotect against arbitrary or unlawful interference with one&#8217;s privacy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Any constraints upon the right to privacy must strictly comply with the<br \/>\nprinciples of legality, necessity and proportionality. These<br \/>\nrequirements are included in the Nigerian Constitution and the human<br \/>\nrights treaties to which Nigeria is a state party.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We would be grateful if the recommended measures are taken within 7<br \/>\ndays of the receipt and\/or publication of this letter. If we have not<br \/>\nheard from you by then, SERAP shall take all appropriate legal actions<br \/>\nto compel your government to comply with our request in the public<br \/>\ninterest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The letter was copied to Mr Abubakar Malami, SAN, Attorney General of<br \/>\nthe Federation and Minister of Justice, and Mr Isa Pantami, Minister of<br \/>\nCommunications and Digital Economy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to use his &#8220;good offices and leadership position to urgently review and rescind your reported approval for security agencies&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":49993,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-91572","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>NIN-SIM linkage: SERAP writes Buhari over &#039;unlawful access to subscribers&#039;
