NSCDC Shuts Down ₦1.43 Trillion Illegal Lithium Mine In Kebbi Linked To Foreign Collusion
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has sealed an illegal lithium mining site in Kebbi State over an alleged ₦1.43 trillion mineral theft — in what may be one of the biggest mining frauds in Nigeria’s history.
The site, operated by Three Crown Mines Ltd, was shut down following a Federal High Court order. Authorities revealed that the company, in collusion with foreign nationals, illegally extracted lithium far beyond their licensed limits, breaching both the 2007 Minerals and Mining Act and 2011 Mining Regulations.
Despite a formal summons, the company’s directors snubbed investigators, citing “inconvenience,” a move strongly condemned by NSCDC officials. The Corps warned of zero tolerance going forward.
The crackdown aligns with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and underscores the strategic importance of lithium in Nigeria’s economic future — and the urgent need to curb mineral looting.
