A 29-year-old Chinese man named Gang Deng has been detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Ilorin for allegedly engaging in illicit mining there.
In a statement made available to the newsmen in Ilorin on Saturday, the head of the commission’s media and publicity department, Wilson Uwujaren, said that Deng had been detained on Friday after being discovered to be in unlawful possession of crude minerals.
A truckload of minerals suspected to be lepidolite was recovered from him.
“The suspect will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded,” the commission said.
