⚠️ Soldier Killed by Policeman Escorting Illegal Mining Truck in Bauchi A Nigerian Army officer, MWO Ali Haruna, was shot dead by Inspector Yusuf Ibrahim, a mobile policeman allegedly escorting a truck carrying illegally mined solid minerals. The incident happened on Aug 25 in Futuk, Alkaleri LGA, when troops stopped the suspicious truck at a checkpoint. After initially refusing to stop, the truck was intercepted—but the policeman reportedly opened fire, hitting Haruna in the stomach. The soldier later died in hospital. The truck driver escaped amid the chaos, while the inspector was overpowered and disarmed by soldiers. Authorities are investigating, as tensions rise between the police and military in Bauchi. #Bauchi #IllegalMining #Nigeria #SecurityCrisis #Justice

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. #LithiumLoot #NSCDCStrikeBack #IllegalMining #KebbiScandal #MineralTheft #NigeriaMiningCrisis
