The Federal Government has arraigned eight Chinese nationals and a Nigerian over illegal mining activities in Lokpaukwu community, Umuchieze, Umunneochi Local Government Area of Abia State
The suspects were recently apprehended by the Mining Marshals, an elite security outfit crafted from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
The Marshals are tasked with ridding the mining sector of illegal operators.
The Mining Marshals, codenamed “Operation Hayakin Kogo,” is the brainchild of the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr. Dele Alake. This initiative is a pivotal component of his 7-point agenda aimed at sanitizing the mining environment.
