The arrest was made by operatives from the EFCC’s Uyo Zonal Directorate, following intelligence reports of unlawful mining operations in the region.

The anti-graft agency disclosed this in a statement, saying a Special Task Force arrested the suspects in illegal mining at Ndito-Eka-Iba village in the Ibiono local government area of the state.

According to the EFCC, the illegal mining operation targeted ilmenite, a valuable titanium-iron oxide mineral often used in various industries.

The EFCC said the arrests occurred over weeks.
