Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dele Alake, has said that powerful Nigerians are sponsoring banditry and kidnappings in the country.

He also accused them of being behind illegal mining in the country.

Alake spoke at the National Assembly when he appeared before the House Committee on Solid Minerals to defend the Ministry’s 2024 budget estimate.

The minister said the Tinubu istration is already identifying those individuals and will take appropriate action against them.

“One discovery that we have made is that a lot of these insecurities and banditry associated with this sector are sponsored by illegal miners,” he said.

“These are not your artisan miners. They are not the people who pick gold on the ground. These are heavy and powerful individuals in our country. They are Nigerians and not foreigners.”

POWERFUL NIGERIAN CITIZEN WITHOUT NAME'S, YOU GUYS ARE GHOST IN THIS CORNER OF THE WORLD 😂

God punish all of them

May they have a heart attack like that turkish politician.

These powerful Nigerians have no names??

Dumb man saying dumb sh1t.

The FG is an agency of the Nigerian People. It literally represents 200 million people with all the powers that come with it.

For clarification, the FG has control of the Military. That includes Army, Navy and the Airforce. It also has the power to seek military aids from its foreign allies.

Yet, the group of idiots in charge would NOT even put a name to identified criminals.

PUBLIC ENEMIES are being protected by the people in power.

So some Nigerians are more powerful than the federal government? Tell me something

Who are the powerful Nigerians? You gave them unnecessary power when you refuse to deal with them

Anyway your 4 years is ticking away

where is the uselèss action?

Same thing they have been saying since Buhari era

We are still waiting for the Boko Haram sponsors Buhari said he will release 5 years ago

The FG will not and cannot do anything

Yinmu ... na today? Do something drastic & let d world know dt u're serious& sincere.

That mining sector

Tinubu govt is the most useless since 1st Oct. 1960. Followed by Buhari and his role model Abacha.

It baffles me that some people are still chanting his name with praises even under the economic torture. After insulting everyone for speaking out against the government, they flood online space with alternate begging for money and looking for give away.

They are suffering and they want others to suffer like them too, that's why they are keen on bringing Tinubu and even after the devastating effect the cocaine sniffing vagabond has caused our fragile nation, they continue to reiterate their stupidity by defending him and endorsing his continued torture.

We don't blame them. We blame Luggard for the almagamation of protectorate more than a century ago. If not, i don't see how me, a warri Boy with Urhobo blood would share the same country with these idiots with low IQ.
