The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested two Chinese nationals and six Nigerians in Ogere, Ogun State, over alleged involvement in illegal mining activities. According to a statement released in Abuja, the suspects—Zhang Hang Lin, Gao Pei Hai, and six others—were apprehended on Friday during a sting operation based on credible intelligence and thorough surveillance by the commission.
Recovered from the suspects were three trucks filled with suspected ground lithium powder, other unverified solid minerals, a Toyota 4Runner SUV, mobile phones, international passports, ATM cards, flashlights, and various documents linked to the case. The EFCC stated that the suspects will be prosecuted once investigations are complete.
