The Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Mining Marshals arrest two suspects over alleged illegal gold mining in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The arrests follow an intelligence-led raid in the Gwagwalada Area Council of Abuja.
NSCDC states the operation is based on credible information, including a petition, and is aimed at stopping unlawful mining activities in the area. The corps says additional suspects are being hunted as part of the enforcement effort. Across the reports, both outlets describe the same incident, the same location, and the same number of suspects arrested, with emphasis on NSCDC’s intelligence-driven approach and the continuation of follow-up arrests.
