Tecno Telecom Limited, the manufacturer of Tecno mobile Phone, has raised an alarm  over the influx of fake brands of the phone into the Nigerian market.

According to a letter  titled Re;Tecno Copy/Counterfeit Phone, signed by the  Regional Manager, Nicholas Qin  and sent to the Phone Dealers Association, Computer  Village, Ikeja, Lagos State, through its counsel, Barrister Justice Uhuegbu., the  China-based manufacturer alleged that it has come to the notice of the company that  some people within the Ikeja Computer Village are engaging in the act of pirating  the Tecno brand of phone.

While seeking the assistance of the telephone dealers within the Village to help put  an end to it, Qin said, “we therefore write to you as the legal adviser of the GSM  and Phones Dealers Association to partner with us in order to put an end to this act  being perpetrated by some members of the association’

To this end, the association recently embarked on an enlightenment campaign against  fake mobile phones, especially Tecno products, tagged Original, No Copy. The  campaign train moved around Ikeja, the computer village and its environs.

Speaking on behalf of the association, Attama Fabian said that the campaign is  geared towards educating the telephone dealers and users against purchase or sale of  fake Tecno and other GSM phones.
