The unit was inaugurated under the directive of the Minister of Solid Minerals, Dr. Dele Alake.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since their formation, the Marshals have launched several operations across the country, targeting unauthorized mining sites, apprehending suspects, and restoring order in mining-affected regions.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite grappling with major obstacles such as entrenched interests and insufficient operational support, Onoja emphasized the importance of their work, describing it as vital to safeguarding Nigeria\u2019s future.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cOur minerals are national assets; they should benefit every Nigerian, not a select few engaging in criminal exploitation,\u201d he added.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Onoja\u2019s comments come at a time when law enforcement officials, including Federal Capital Territory Police Commissioner Ajao Adewale, have publicly revealed the vast scale of the problem. According to Adewale, illegal mining is being orchestrated by powerful individuals and has strong ties to insecurity and organized crime, especially banditry.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The efforts of the Marshals are part of a broader nationwide crackdown, with major interventions recorded in states such as Zamfara, Kaduna, Nasarawa, Kogi, Niger, Kwara, Osun, and parts of the FCT, including Gwagwalada, Asokoro, Gaube, Kuje, and Katampe Extension.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Between 2023 and 2024, over 72 individuals were apprehended in the FCT alone for illegal mining activities, following coordinated raids by the NSCDC, Police, and EFCC.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Onoja acknowledged the uphill nature of the task, but maintained that enforcement must be complemented by robust and factual media reporting to successfully dismantle entrenched cartels involved in illegal mining.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Echoing this sentiment, the National President of the Miners Association of Nigeria (MAN), Dele Ayanleke, also lent his voice to the campaign. He blamed the proliferation of illegal mining on factors such as widespread corruption, poverty, and weak institutional oversight. Ayanleke highlighted the grave social and ecological consequences, including rampant child labour in Nasarawa\u2019s lithium mines and toxic mercury exposure in Zamfara\u2019s gold-mining communities.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Earlier in her remarks, Chairperson of the NUJ FCT Council, Ms. Grace Ike, encouraged journalists to go beyond surface-level reporting and pursue in-depth investigative work.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">She urged the media to uncover the financial backers of illegal mining networks, bring affected community stories to the forefront, and hold authorities accountable for lapses in regulation and enforcement.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAs watchdogs of society, we must dig deeper, reveal the truth, and enlighten citizens on the destruction illegal mining inflicts on communities and the environment,\u201d Ike stated.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The NUJ FCT Council reaffirmed its commitment to championing the voices of communities suffering from mining-related harm and called for greater public engagement in demanding transparency, environmental justice, and improved governance.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Mining Marshals continue to call for a media alliance grounded in integrity, one that helps promote national security and defends Nigeria\u2019s collective mineral wealth from exploitation.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tracy Moses Nigeria is losing an estimated \u20a613.7 trillion annually to illegal mining and gold smuggling, according to Commander of the Mining Marshals, Attah Onoja, who has also issued&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":121538,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-121537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
