The Device Management System will keep records of all registered phones’ IMEI, and owners of such devices.
IMEIs that are reported as stolen or illegal will be shared through DMS to all operators to ensure that such devices don’t work even if different SIM cards are inserted. pic.twitter.com/MLe2v0sE1O

*ensure unregistered devices don’t work in any of the networks in Nigeria
