Thanks Dorcas. I will bring this to the attention of the relevant people. Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.

The journalists had laid a trap with a new phone and SIM card, only to find their SIM card was already registered with another persons information which made it difficult to follow up with the police. This means that someone can overwrite a genuine SIM card registration with new info. Please have your concerned team verify this and perhaps you can add some enforcements around this.
