The
Enforcement Unit of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) yesterday
stormed the Ikoyi area of Lagos to clamp down on organisations in four
locations,
whose installations have been causing network interferences to
service delivery on 9mobile network.
In the
enforcement action, a bank with the name Page Microfinance Bank, GMT Energy
Resources, Club 57 and a property on No 61, Ademola Street, Ikoyi were found as
culprits creating the problem in the area.
However,
while four locations were found by the enforcement team, only the first three
were tracked as the team could not access the premises of the fourth location
on No. 61, Ademola Street in Ikoyi.
The NCC’
raid, followed complaints received from 9mobile in respect of frequency
interference it was having in its network, which has subjected a number of
corporate and individual customers of the 9mobile to contending with
debilitating service delivery on the mobile network.
Addressing
the media after the enforcement exercise that lasted for hours, Head of
Enforcement Unit at NCC, Mr. Salisu Abdu, who led the team from Abuja, said
after a thorough search, the team was able to localise the culprits causing the
network interference to the four locations. “We are in Lagos today in respect
of a compliant we received from 9mobile 9mobile in respect of a frequency
interference they are having in their network.
We have
investigated the complaints and found that the interference signal was
localised at four locations here in Lagos, particularly in Ikoyi axis. “We got
all the locations. They are four.
Fortunately,
we realised that they had all removed the equipment causing the interferences
on 9mobile network following our initial notice earlier served them to desist
from the use of GSM Boosters to jam network,” he said.
