Popular human rights activist, Aisha Yesufu has said that she will not link her National Identification Number (NIN) to her phone number as required by the Federal Government, Afriupdate reports.

Giving reason for her decision, Yesufu stated that linking her NIN to her phone number will have her information in the control of a terrorist sympathiser and his cohorts.

She made the assertion in a tweet which demanded the sacking or resignation of the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami.

She wrote: “Let me repeat categorically what I have said before. I WILL NOT BE LINKING MY NIN to my phone number! I will rather not have a phone line than willingly give my information and have it in the control of a terrorist sympathiser and his cohorts #PantamiMustGo.”
