In a recent radio interview, Bwala stated that while Nigerians venting frustration are easily tracked because they use domestic internet services, bandits evade tracking by utilizing internet services originating from outside the country.
According to him, “There is a regulatory body in Nigeria that has the database of Nigerians and their phone numbers. There is also a body that deals with internet service provision where if you are using an internet service covered within the sphere of Nigeria, they can trace through the IP address where you are.
“If you are using Starlink, we cannot trace it because Starlink is not registered in Nigeria, it is in space. That is the problem they have in Ukraine and Russia. These terrorists most of the time are using cellular services from the neighbouring countries and not from Nigeria, so it becomes tricky.’’
