EFCC Arrests 10 Suspected Illegal Miners In Oyo State

23 July

Reported by Ayooluwa Afolabi

A total of ten individuals suspected of engaging in illegal mining activities have been apprehended by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

According to Naija News, the anti-graft agency seized six vehicles brimming with minerals extracted from unauthorized sources located in the Ogbomoso region of Oyo State.

The apprehended individuals, captured by operatives from the Ibadan Zonal Directorate of the anti-graft agency have been identified as Yunusa Adisa, Ganiyu Kazeem, Muideen Babayemi, Sulaiman Usman, Adeleke Waliu, Tiamiyu Rokeeb, Olusola Sunday, Oyedokun Oluwagbemiga, Sulaimon Ishiaq, and Olufimihan Eniola.

In a statement issued on Monday by Dele Oyewale, the spokesperson for the anti-corruption agency, it was revealed that the six vehicles seized contained an extensive load of lithium.

The statement further detailed that the arrest of these individuals was a direct response to credible information regarding their alleged participation in the illicit extraction of solid mineral resources, particularly lithium, intending to smuggle these materials to undisclosed locations.

Upon the completion of the investigation process, the suspects will face legal proceedings, as confirmed by the EFCC.
