Agents of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) apprehended two Chinese nationals, Yang Chao and Xiao Jiang, along with Chidi Joseph Osuji for suspected illegal mining activities in Ilorin. The arrests were made following intelligence, and the suspects were tracked to their mining sites in Ogun State. Investigations revealed that Chao and Chidi work at Cruis Chemical Nigeria Limited, while Jiang is employed at John Odiba Multibiz. They allegedly engage in illegal mining of minerals like marble stone and lithium, transporting them out of the country for profit. Additionally, the EFCC arrested Sallah Asmau Wuraola, Owoduni Abdullahi Isa, and Shuaibu Rukayat for selling new naira notes without authorization. Wuraola and Rukayat were found with N1,220,000, while Isa had N150,000. The suspects will face charges in court, according to the EFCC spokesman.
