Despite being questioned, none of the suspects could provide evidence of operating under a registered company or possessing exploration and mining licenses.<\/p>\n<p>Odumosu underscored the detrimental impact of illegal mining on the environment, citing instances of soil encroachment, environmental degradation, and erosion, rendering affected areas unsuitable for agricultural and human use.<\/p>\n<p>Following thorough investigations, the apprehended individuals will face legal proceedings aimed at addressing their offences and serving as a deterrent to others contemplating similar actions.<\/p>\n<p>Evidence recovered from the suspects included dismantled metal mast components, pumping machines, alleged quantities of gold dust, pumping hoses, fuel, and digging tools.<\/p>\n<p>The NSCDC remains committed to upholding the law and ensuring the protection of critical national assets and infrastructure, contributing to a safer and more secure environment for all
