Ndume Claims Government Monitors His Calls Amid Terrorism

Senator Ali Ndume raised significant concerns regarding government surveillance during a political program aired on Channel Television on Thursday. He claimed that his phone calls are being monitored while terrorist groups continue to operate with little restraint across Nigeria.

Ndume emphasized that despite being warned to be cautious in his communications, he believes that the surveillance of prominent individuals does not address the larger issue of national security. He expressed frustration over the apparent ineffectiveness of security agencies, which seem to prioritize monitoring individuals rather than addressing the growing threat posed by criminal groups.

Ndume pointed out that bandits are openly sharing their activities on platforms like TikTok, which has led to public concern about the government's ability to track and manage these threats. He concluded that while he acknowledges the monitoring of his communications, the focus should remain on enhancing the overall security situation in Nigeria.
