NONE REGISTRATION OF SIM CARD IS A CRIME IN
NIGERIA.

It is a criminal offence in Nigeria to own or use a mobile phone
SIM card or any electronic telecommunications service without
registration of same. At registration, a prospective
customer/subscriber must give his details including full Name and
Address to his network provider.
None registration or registration with fake information with
intention to deceive is an offence punishable with imprisonment for
not less than 3 years or fine of N100,000.00. Also note that where
l a service provider fails to collect the needed information of a
customer/subscriber, it is an offence punishable with fine of
N100,000 and forfeiture of equipment/facility used to provide
services.

My authorities are sections 12 and 22 of the Advanced Fee Fraud
and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006.
