Dial *996# To Confirm The Numbers Linked To Your NIN (16833 Views)

calabaman(m): 6:20am On Jan 07

Dear all,

Dial *996# and follow the prompts to check numbers linked to your NIN.

Any strange number should be reported to the bank, your network provider and police ASAP.

I just checked my 2 lines....sadly I am impacted.

I will Just run it by MTN only for now as I don't have time for police wahala.

imagine if your NIN is linked to a robbery, police would grab you and the other two phone numbers, act now to avoid wahala tommorow

So the police would just nab you, toture you and probably imprison you simply because your NIN was linked to a phone number that was used by robbers or kidnappers?

They won't carry out any investigation to prove that you're part of the robbery or kidnapping gang. Rather they would torture you and force you to confess to something you know nothing of?

God why did you make me a Nigerian?
