The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, SERAP, has urged President Bola Tinubu to direct the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, to immediately withdraw the Lawful Interception of Communications Regulations, 2019.
SERAP claimed that the regulations are unconstitutional, unlawful, and entirely inconsistent with Nigeria’s international obligations.
In a letter signed by its deputy director, Kolawole Oluwadare, SERAP emphasized the need for a transparent legislative process to ensure any lawful interception framework complies with constitutional safeguards, judicial oversight, and international human rights standards.
The call comes in the wake of allegations by former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai that the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu’s phone conversation was intercepted.
