‘Wanted’ Nigerian Miner Mundasa Denies Evading Arrest, Refutes NSCDC Allegations of Impersonation and Illegal Mining
Alhaji Mohammed Dahiru Salihu, popularly known as Mundasa of Mundasa Global Limited, has refuted claims by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) that he is on the run over allegations of impersonation and illegal mining. Salihu insisted he has never been invited for questioning and is a licensed miner operating legally under all necessary approvals.
The controversy arose after the NSCDC Mining Marshals arrested five men allegedly linked to Mundasa Global Limited for illegal mining and impersonation, including using a Toyota Hilux branded with NSCDC insignia. Salihu and his lawyer, Douglas Najime, explained that the vehicle was donated by the company to the NSCDC and was driven by a manager to supply diesel to an excavator in the absence of Civil Defence officers.
Najime emphasized that Salihu remained accessible throughout the investigation, that his company operates fully within Nigerian mining laws, and that allegations of illegal mining and impersonation were false and misleading. The miner called the claims damaging to his reputation, asserting that all necessary licenses and permits for his operations are intact and available for verification.
