The
Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Niger says it has arrested
six illegal gold miners in the state.
The State
Commandant, Mr Philip Ayuba, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday
that the suspects were arrested on Mandela Road in Minna.
The suspects were
apprehended while carrying out their illegal activities in residential areas
along Mandela Road, he said.
According
to him, the arrest became necessary because the miners failed to heed the
warnings given by the residents that they are not comfortable with the security
threat posed to their lives by their activities.
Ayuba said the
suspects would be charged to court as soon as investigations were concluded.
He appealed to the
public to provide the command useful information about the activities of
illegal miners in the state.
