Mining Marshals Vow to Sustain War Against Illegal Mining, Laud Dele Alake's Leadership The Commander of the Mining Marshals, Assistant Commandant of Corps (ACC) John Onoja Attah, has reaffirmed the steadfast resolve of the special unit to stamp out illegal mining activities across Nigeria. Speaking during a media parley in Abuja, ACC Attah stated that the Mining Marshals remain "resolute and impressionable" in their mission to sanitize the nation's solid minerals sector and enforce mining regulations with precision and professionalism. He attributed the success recorded so far to the strong political will of the Federal Government, particularly under the guidance of the Minister of Solid Minerals, Dr. Dele Alake, whose leadership, he said, has "breathed fresh momentum into the campaign against illegal mining." Onoja added that the achievements of the Mining Marshals are also rooted in the well-laid philosophical and operational framework established by the Commandant General of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Dr. Abubakar Ahmed Audi, mni. According to him, the Commandant General’s strategic direction has empowered the marshals to function effectively across various terrains and maintain operational discipline in line with national security objectives. “Our operations are yielding visible results. We are dismantling criminal networks, restoring government control over mining assets, and bringing sanity to previously lawless terrains. This wouldn’t be possible without the resolute support and reformist vision of Dr. Dele Alake and the foundational guidance of CG Audi,” Attah said. Since their deployment, the Mining Marshals, operating under the NSCDC, have carried out high-impact operations across several states in Nigeria. These operations have led to the arrest of over 300 illegal miners and their financiers, seizure and forfeiture of illegal mining equipment, and disruption of illicit gold smuggling channels and other mineral theft networks. They have also played a key role in protecting licensed miners and communities from harassment and economic sabotage. In addition, collaborative efforts with state governments have resulted in improved monitoring, intelligence gathering, and revalidation of mining licenses, thereby boosting investor confidence. Beyond enforcement, the activities of the Mining Marshals are already generating positive ripple effects. Local communities once plagued by insecurity and environmental degradation caused by unregulated mining are now witnessing renewed peace and cleaner environments. Artisanal miners are being sensitized and re-integrated into legal frameworks, while the government’s revenue from solid minerals is beginning to reflect steady growth. “Our impact is not just about arrests; it's about restoring hope. Legitimate mining operators now feel protected, and communities are no longer at the mercy of violent syndicates,” ACC Attah added. Addressing recent allegations of misconduct by marshals during operations in Nasarawa State, ACC Attah described the reports as “desperate fabrications by disgruntled elements.” He emphasized that all operations are conducted professionally and in strict adherence to legal protocols. “These feeble rants are the last cries of criminal and mischievous individuals whose illicit operations have been disrupted. We have zero tolerance for excesses, and any officer found wanting will be dealt with in accordance with NSCDC’s disciplinary procedures. But we will not be distracted,” he said. Looking ahead, ACC Attah expressed optimism about the future of Nigeria’s mining industry under the ongoing reforms of the Federal Government. He called on citizens, traditional institutions, and the media to support the national agenda of turning mining into a cornerstone of economic diversification. “We are building a legacy. The Mining Marshals are here to stay. With continued support from the government, communities, and patriotic stakeholders, Nigeria will soon become a global reference point for regulated, sustainable, and inclusive mineral resource development,” he concluded.

Some members of the hijacked ADC, who were reported as members of the APC, left the APC years and months ago. Let the public not be deceived by the opposition’s narrative about their relevance or whether the APC will mourn their departure. - Rotimi Amaechi’s soul left the APC in 2022 after losing the presidential primary to President Tinubu. - Abubakar Malami, the former Attorney-General, has never hidden his estrangement from the APC since Tinubu assumed leadership and since he lost the governorship bid in Kebbi. - Hadi Sirika, now with the ADC, is facing trial for contract splitting and other allegations. -The renegade Rauf Aregbesola committed anti-party in the last Osun election and was expelled as an unfit APC member Kashim Imam and the octogenarian Chief John Odigie Oyegun are among the disgruntled politicians posturing as would-be saviours of Nigeria. Imam abandoned the APC after failing to secure the vice-presidential ticket in 2022. Chief Oyegun, a former party chairman, also lost interest in the APC and has been a foundational member of this coalition since its inception My advice to Nigerians: Keep your eyes wide open. A political party with no clear agenda or ideology—whose members are united only by their hatred for President Tinubu—cannot be good for our country. It will only set us back by decades. These politicians are desperados, hungry for power, not for the benefit of Nigerians but for themselves. They want power at all costs because they cannot endure another four years in the political wilderness or be banished to political winter and irrelevance. What is certain is that the group will soon unravel due to their irreconcilable personal and political ambitions.

I REJECTED ₦91 million BRIBE FROM MIKEL OBI AGENT FOR OLYMPIC GAMES SLOT - SAMSON SIASIA Samson Siasia's disagreement with Mikel Obi just got m3ssier Former Nigeria U23 coach Samson Siasia has revealed that he rejected a €50,000 (approximately ₦91 million based on current exchange rates) brib3 offer from John Obi Mikel's agent to include the midfielder in the squad for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, claiming the former Chelsea star refused to participate in the qualifiers. Siasia to Elegbete TV Sports: "Mikel's agent called that Mikel cannot come and he wasn't a starter at Chelsea then, he was on the bench. "I told him we only had one game against Ghana to play – please come and help us. "I said if he doesn't come, he won’t go anywhere. But Mikel refused to come, saying he was playing in Chelsea. "Then we went to Ghana and played a draw. They brought Asamoah Gyan, they needed that win. "Nothing happened, we played very well, at the end of the day 0-0, we qualified. "Going to the Olympics, Mikel wants to come and play. His agent said he would give me €50,000 so Mikel should play. "I said it’s not about €50,000. He didn’t play the qualifiers, so I will take out someone that qualified us and bring you in? It won’t happen. That’s why Mikel didn’t go." Nigeria went on to win silver at the Beijing Games, with Siasia leading a squad that impressed en route to the final, where they narrowly lost to Lionel Messi's Argentina. Siasia vs Mikel , where is this leading them to ?🙂

B.R.E.A.K.I.N.G. N.E.W.S. ABUJA-BASED WELLS CARTON HOTEL CANCELS OPPOSITION COALITION EVENT TO UNVEIL ADC AGAINST TINUBU. The programme, designed to formally introduce the ADC as the main political vehicle to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections, was set to host some of Nigeria’s biggest political figures across party lines. The unveiling of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as the political platform for Nigeria’s growing opposition coalition was on Wednesday abruptly disrupted after the Wells Carlton Hotel and Apartments in Asokoro, Abuja, suddenly cancelled the fully paid reservation just hours before the event. The programme, designed to formally introduce the ADC as the main political vehicle to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections, was set to host some of Nigeria’s biggest political figures across party lines. However, on Wednesday morning, organisers were informed that the hotel would no longer be able to host the event, citing an unspecified “internal compliance matter.” A screenshot of the hotel’s message posted by opposition politician and media figure, Dele Momodu, on Instagram read: “Dear Esteemed Patron, Thank you once again for choosing the Wells Carlton Hotel and Apartments. “We sincerely regret to inform you that due to an internal compliance matter that has just come to our attention, we are unable to proceed with hosting your scheduled event. “We are fully aware that the event is less than 24 hours away, and we deeply apologise for the timing and inconvenience this may cause.” Momodu, reacting to the development, described it as another clear case of state-backed intimidation and political sabotage. “The intimidation of opposition by a jittery government continues as the booking of a venue for the unveiling of the adopted party, ADC, by the coalition has been unilaterally and suddenly cancelled by the Management of the hotel due to what insiders described as fear of reprisals from APC operatives,” he said. “But this will not dampen the daredevil determination of opposition forces who are poised to hotly challenge the ruling party.” Salihu Lukman, a former APC chieftain now working with the opposition coalition, also slammed the hotel's management in a statement released via Momodu's post. Writing on behalf of People and Passion Consult Ltd, Lukman accused the hotel of breaching a valid agreement. “This is unacceptable. Your management has no right to unilaterally sabotage a contract validly and legally agreed to and fully paid for. “You must meet the terms of the contract fully by allowing the event to hold with full compliments of all the services agreed to. This is not negotiable,” he wrote. SaharaReporters had reported that top opposition leaders on Tuesday night adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as their new political platform. They also nominated David Mark as the party’s protem national chairman and former Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola as protem national secretary. The announcement emerged from a high-level meeting currently underway, signalling a major coalition of political heavyweights ahead of the 2027 general elections. Prominent leaders present at the meeting include former Rivers State Governor and ex-Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, former All Progressives Congress National Chairman, John Oyegun, former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, former Cross River Governor, Liyel Imoke, and former House Speaker and ex-Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal. Others in attendance include influential political figures like Kashim Imam and other senior stakeholders from across the political spectrum. Sources at the meeting described the development as a convergence of politicians from across party lines, driven by a shared determination to unseat President Bola Tinubu and dislodge the ruling APC in the 2027 elections. COPIED FROM: SAHARA REPORTERS. --------------------------------------- It's like this coalition stuff is shaking the table of the president already otherwise, I see no reason why they stopped the unveiling of their chosen political party. #bendelgistsblog.
