@ghbrain_: Colonel Dominic Buah, Director of Operations of the National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS), has reiterated the state’s firm stance against illegal mining, stressing that offenders will be treated strictly as criminals regardless of political affiliation. He made the remarks during the handing over of 100 pumping machines seized from illegal mining sites to the National Service Secretariat. The equipment will support the Secretariat’s large-scale agricultural programme, enhancing irrigation for the cultivation of 20,000 acres of maize and 10,000 acres of tomatoes to boost food production.
