The chairman of the task force Brig.-Gen. Jeremiah Faransa (rtd) made this known yesterday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Jalingo.

Faransa said the illegal miners arrested were from Mali, Senegal, Chad, Zamfara and other parts of the country.

He said the state was richly blessed with abundant natural resources begging to be harnessed not just for the benefits of the locals but the state and the country at large.

“This beautiful atmosphere endowed by nature is being threatened by the activities of some un-authorised people through illegal mining.

“These illegal miners take home billions of Naira on a daily basis at the expense of the locals. They damage the ecosystem and environment which will have multiple effects on the future of the state.

“Dogon Yatsu, is an unmotorable thick forest which has become their new abode where they extract mineral resources of various kinds,” he said.

Faransa said that the arrested suspects had been prosecuted by a mobile court and were being punished accordingly.

He reiterated the determination of the special task force to safeguard the state and its environment from illegal miners’ encroachment by leaving no stone unturned.
