flag Nigerian officials, including Communications Minister Bosun Tijani, revealed that bandits and terrorists are using advanced call-routing techniques to evade surveillance by bouncing signals across multiple cell towers, especially in remote, poorly connected areas. flag The government is responding with a multi-pronged plan to expand fibre networks, deploy 4,000 new telecom towers in rural regions—coordinated with Huawei—and upgrade two national satellites to ensure backup connectivity. flag These efforts aim to close coverage gaps exploited by criminals, improve security monitoring, and support development, though technical and logistical challenges remain.
