Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Anambra State
Command, has arrested two suspects for allegedly engaging in illegal mining
activities in the state.
While parading the suspects on Wednesday in Awka, the
NSCDC Commandant in the state, Olatunde Maku, said the suspects were arrested
following credible intelligence.
Maku said his team arrested Madueke Akpuchukwu, 53, from
Awomama in Oru East Local Government Area of Imo State and Chimezie Ezenduka, of
No 4 Mekus Drive Federal Housing, Onitsha.
According to him, the suspects were arrested at Igbariam

permit.
Maku said illegal mining had been prohibited in Anambra
under Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s administration to block revenue leakage.
