SenatorNdume alleges govt phone monitoring but questions security focus

Senator Ali Ndume claims Nigerian government monitors his phone conversations, stating he's been warned to be cautious. While Ndume confirmed the monitoring, he downplayed its significance, questioning why security agencies can't track terrorists despite their alleged surveillance capabilities. He pointed to terrorists using TikTok to share activities, asking why public figures are monitored but not criminals. Ndume said: 'If I can be monitored, I begin to wonder what is going on?' The lawmaker suggested tracking systems exist but aren't effectively used against security threats.
