FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has directed security agencies to shut down all illegal mining sites operating within the Federal Capital Territory.
FCT Police Commissioner, Ajao Saka Adewale, made this known after a security meeting chaired by the minister in Abuja.
He said the growing number of illegal mining camps poses serious security threats and must be dismantled.
The meeting also discussed other key issues, including street begging, illegal IDP camps, shanties, and traffic violations. The minister reportedly tasked all security outfits to take firm action against any activity that threatens peace and order in the capital.
