Social Media: Report Shows Spike in Identity Fraud

May 20, 2025

The National Identity Management Commission has refuted the reports making rounds that its database has been compromised.

Recall there were reports that some Nigerians’ data were sold for just N100 online after some government agencies’ databases were allegedly comprised, NIMC, however, dismissed the reports as untrue.

In a statement on Saturday evening, Mr. Kayode Adegoke, head, Corporate Communications at NIMC, clarified that no sensitive data of Nigerian citizens, as it concerns the Commission amongst many other data-collecting agencies, as alleged and reported, was compromised.

The statement reads:

“The Commission, at this moment, assures the public that the data of Nigerians has not been compromised, and the Commission have not authorised any website or entity to sell or misuse the National Identification Number (NIN) amongst all the identities stated in the report.

“The following websites: idfinder.com.ng; Verify. Ng/sign in, championtech.com.ng, trustyonline.com, and anyverify.com are data harvesters not authorised by NIMC to access or manage sensitive data.

“NIMC urges the public to disregard any claims or services these websites offer and should not give their data as they are potentially fraudulent and data provided by the public on such websites are gathered and stored to build the data services they illegally provide.

“Consequently, the public should know that the Commission has taken robust measures to safeguard  the  nation’s  database  from  cyber  threats-  a  secure,  world-class,  full-proof database is in place.

“The commission’s infrastructure meets the stringent ISO 27001:2013 Information Security Management System Standard, with annual recertification and strict compliance with the Nigerian Data Protection Law.

“Furthermore, NIMC advises Nigerians to avoid giving their data to unauthorised and phishing sites. This poses the danger of data harvesting and comprises individual data”.

Mr. Adegoke reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to upholding ethical standards in data protection in line with federal government directives and data privacy regulations.

“Moreover, licensed partners or vendors are not authorised to scan or store NIN slips but to verify NINs through approved channels.

“The Commission is currently working closely with security operatives to apprehend these elements masquerading as online vendors, and they will be made to face the full wrath of the law.

“NIMC urges the public to remain vigilant against false information and rely on verified sources for accurate updates.

“The Commission remains committed to providing secure and reliable identity management and upholding the highest level of security for systems and databases, which are critical national assets”, the statement reads.
