The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is seeking a stronger partnership with the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Mining Marshals. This collaboration aims to enhance efforts in combating illegal mining and related crimes.

A commander of the NSCDC Mining Marshals has dismissed a police report linking a deceased officer to N2bn transactions, alleging a plot by foreign nationals.

The Minister of Women Affairs commended NSCDC Mining Marshals Commander, Onoja Attah, for his leadership in combating illegal mining and protecting Nigeria’s mineral resources.

Nigeria's NSCDC Mining Marshals have sealed seven illegal mineral processing centers in Niger State and arrested four suspects as part of a crackdown on illegal mining.
