Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom has ordered the immediate suspension of all illegal mining activities in some parts of the state.
The governor gave the order yesterday, at the Benue Peoples House, Makurdi when he had an emergency security meeting with stakeholders drawn from Kwande Local Government Area over the illegal mining of gold in the area.
Governor Ortom warned that illegal mining poses security and environmental threats to not just the Kwande area but also the entire state if unchecked. He, therefore, revoked all rights granted to mining racketeers by some communities in Benue State. He warned that anyone caught indulging in or abating illegal mining activities will be prosecuted.
