By Modupe Shodeinde

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has warned Nigerians against the sales of their National Identity Number (NIN), says offenders could face criminal charges.

The EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, gave this warning on Thursday.

He warned that people who sell their NIN could find themselves in trouble for criminal acts linked to their identity number.

He said, “In other words, they risk arrest and prosecution for any act of criminality linked to their NIN whether or not they are directly responsible for such crimes.”

He asked members of the public to report anyone seeking to buy their NIN to the nearest office of the EFCC or other law enforcement agencies.
