Get set…Snooping ‘Joe’ is on his way to Nigeria as your text, voice and internet conversations will now be monitored under a new law in the works.
The proposed law that will allow Nigeria’s security agencies monitor and track conversations on telephone and the internet, passed the second reading at the Nigerian House of Representatives today.
The law, still now a bill, according to its promoters, will aid the battle against terrorism. But in other climes, similar laws have provoked citizen anger as they see it as a means of violating their privacy.
