In fulfillment of a major plank of my 7-point agenda to create a new security architecture to secure mining sites, we unveiled a 2,200-strong Mines Marshal to smoke out illegal miners and all those who flout our nation's mining laws.

I formally received the marshals drawn from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and charged them to stem theft and all nefarious activities around our mineral resources to ensure we reap maximum benefits from our God-given resources.

The Mines Marshal, as part of the new security architecture, will have their command and control domiciled in the Ministry of Solid Minerals Development (MSMD), with an initial 60 operatives deployed in each state and the FCT. I commend my interior counterpart Hon. Olubunmi Tunji -Ojo for working tirelessly with my ministry to achieve this feat, and I am pleased to launch the first batch of this security apparatus today.

The Mines Marshal, an inter-agency security outfit, will also include special operatives from other security agencies and will operate with a focus on technological advancements.

Dele Alake, Minister of Solid Minerals, FRN.

Nice one there

The next step is to be checking up on the Chinese coming to Nigeria

Upon all this security outfits here and there and yet the country isn't still safe😏

The Chinese are ed and in partnership with licensed miners in Nigeria.

Our laws favour Nigerian citizens to hold mining licenses so foreigners will be at the mercy of the locals.

The Chinese are in it to make money just like the locals. Having the Chinese or other foreigners and having the bandits, it's obvious the one which can be tolerated.

hope FG will arm them properly,
cause these ones will face bandits wella and I know that civil defense are not well armed

we will eventually get there. Just tell them to find these guys and implement their developmental plans:

Eedi0t. Did you not read that they were drawn from NSCDC and not new recruitments?

F00lish and ign0rant 0bidi0t like Pand0ra 0bi

Mine Marshall is a good one but please replace them through new recruitment because they are not enough already. I just hope these guys won't be colliding with illegal miners to keep stealing our natural resources

Some Chinese are not ed. There are lots of ilegal Chinese miners of gold along the Ife/Ilesha axis.

Try to read the short article next time instead of embarrassing yourself. They were drawn from the NDSDC.

Is the blue coconut-like bottle, hanging on their chest, plastic bomb?

Finally, some real action towards securing our mineral resources. Kudos to the Mines Marshal for taking charge, lets hope they live up to their promise

A good start but they need to be fully armed to face bandits dominated mining sites. Kudos to Mr Alake implementing one of his in!tiatives.

Nice development sha....
But just like most navy personnel are the managing directors of illegal oil bunkering activities after being delegated to stop the menace,it's note worthy to state that a new line of business has been established for some greedy civil defense crooks to manage. Most Nigerians have this inate insatiable genes in them, they just can't stop being corrupt,probably because the penalty for corruption is non existent or outrightly laughable (steal #200billion,get arrested by FECC,pay #20million....okpadi.ooo). If we start executing corrupt officials, cutting off the head to be precise, Nigeria would rise again!

This is really commendable I must say. Let’s see how well they approach the challenges

Another round of bribe seekers.....I do not see this working in anyway.....let the state's handle their solid minerals and let them manage their resources as they deem fit

ppl wey go dey collect dey submit direct to oga!

Wankstas!

I hope this one’s won’t deviate from thier primary role and start chasing after yahoo boys, just like how amotekun left bandits and started arresting naira Marley wannabes 😭🤣

What happened to setting up a committee instead of creating another agency?
With time, they will start recruiting their own.

Omo una dull for that camp aswear🤣
Instead of setting up another agency, why not setup up a committee from NSCDC?
Its just a matter of time before this new agency start recruiting on their own and keep increasing the agencies🤣
People that want to implement Oronsaye report doesnt even know the content of the report🤣
Ur education if u ever had one is a complete waste
Please ask for refund

Are you one of the illegal miners in Nigeria?

These so called leaders are wrestling this country. Creating this; creating that, still the problems keep compounding everyday.

A new set of mining millionaires created , they will the illegal miners to start making illegal money , only miners who refuse to play ball will be arrested

Very commendable move. This is will enable focused investigation and arrest of individuals breaking the law and stealing solid natural materials. Let's hope the Nigerian factor of under table payment won't cause them to compromise.
