NIN: It Is Getting Difficult To Hide From Terrorists #PantanmiMustGo -By Micheal A. Adeniyi

The first time I heard NIN and Sim registration hold will help fight terrorism and stop incessant kidnapping was the day I gave up on the capacity of Communications Minister Isa Pantanmi. Nigeria has zero data and it is interesting to have a government collating data but it is stupid to insult our sensibility or put incompetent men in charge of databases and communication of every Nigerian. As for kidnapping and tracking. It’s almost 10 years now that kidnappers adopted the method of using victims phone for negotiations. So stopping kidnap with NIN is out of the usefulness of sim registration blockade.

At first looking at what people call the travail of Pantanmi and what they call his retractions and repentance from fanatical views, support to terrorism and all sort I will want to say that he never changed until more evidence came in, until his sins was uncovered. Although some people have thé though that Pantanmi is being hunted by those who dread NIN registration, I will have to ask: who is afraid that BVN is in the kitty. Phone Number is in the Box. NIN is in the Bag. Tax TIN is tied to them. It is becoming difficult to HIDE. Yes, it is getting difficult to hide from terrorists and not the law. With all the above measures the government is still heavily under the bondage of Boko Haram, they kidnap at will and get through all this supposed verification process without hinderance. They even easily know when military will strike. I called your attention to how communication between the military is leading to ambush since Buhari and Pantanmi came into leadership. I also called your attention to how terrorist know how much you have in your accounts before demanding ransome. In fact, they know who to call immediately you get kidnapped, so what has been hidden for a while is now in the Open. Isa Pantanmi has been a fanatical Muslim whose view is about killing unbelievers and hailing terrorist attacks. Terrorism is not based on act alone but support. I refer you to reading the Nigerian Terrorism Act and It is important to know that Pantanmi is a terrorist but as to whether he has repentent is the issue at hand. In fact with the repentance dished out to Boko Haram we may have the next communication minister from their folds too. So did Pantanmi repented? Did he changed his fanatical views? No! he never did. He lied under Taqquiya, so it’s not a sin to Allah. I know the almighty Allah is ashamed of Pantanmi right now. When we raised the issue of Pantanmi being wanted, when we said he has fanatical views and support terrorism, he said it was a lie. He threatened legal actions. He picked on daily independence, he vowed to teach them lessons for telling lies about him. He was defended by some crowd. The crowd of terrorists said he was a clean man from birth, the beloved son of the prophet who never sinned or made mistake. Some made it hate against Islam. A quick shoutout to my sweet and sensible Islamic brothers, may God blessing come upon you in this holy month. Two days after Pantanmi threat and denials, can of worms was opened, what was done in secret is out. He came out again to ask for forgiveness. He said he was a changed man. He wanted to keep his job. Who does that? At first who appoints and keep a man who confessed to be a terrorist in charge of a National Database. Surely, Pantanmi’s boss is complicit. He appointed an Islamic fanatics at his first term and now an ex Islamic terrorist in his second term. I think the boss is a terrorist too.

The database of millions of Nigerians have been heavily compromised and it is not safe, if the intelligence gathering unit cannot find out that the Minister was once an extremist please forget them to finding if millions of data has been stolen. But we know how harmful it is to have men who are against humanity in power. It is a threat to every Nigerian.
