NIMC Warns Against Sharing NIN for Money, Announces Arrests in Anambra


The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has issued a stern warning to Nigerians against sharing their National Identification Numbers (NIN) with unauthorized individuals or organizations in exchange for money, labeling the practice illegal and punishable under multiple laws. The caution follows reports of residents in Anambra State being enticed into submitting their NINs for financial gain, prompting swift action from the Commission.


In a statement released Wednesday by Dr. Kayode Adegoke, NIMC’s Head of Corporate Communications, the agency confirmed it had uncovered the illicit scheme and collaborated with security forces to apprehend the perpetrators. “Upon receiving information on the activities of unscrupulous individuals, NIMC, in conjunction with the Department of State Services and the Nigeria Police Force, swiftly arrested the culprits behind the illegal collection of the NIN,” the statement read. “They are currently being interrogated and will face the full wrath of the law.”


The NIMC stressed that neither the Commission nor the Federal Government has sanctioned third parties to collect or use NINs for monetary incentives. The agency cited violations of the NIMC Act No. 23 of 2007, the Data Protection Act, and the Cybercrime Act, warning that offenders would face severe consequences. “At no time should NIN holders give out their NINs for monetary compensation. This is against the laws of the Federation. Anyone caught will be dealt with appropriately,” the statement declared.


Reiterating previous advisories, NIMC urged Nigerians to refrain from sharing their NINs or personal data with unverified platforms or individuals, highlighting risks such as identity theft and cybercrimes. “The NIN can only be used by the holders to access government or private sector services, and it must be verified,” the Commission clarified.


The public has been encouraged to report any suspicious or unauthorized NIN collection activities through NIMC’s official channels as the agency intensifies efforts to safeguard citizens’ data and enforce compliance with national regulations.
