The Chairman of Badagry-West Local Council Development Area, Rauf Yemaren, has warned against illegal mining activities in Falola community and other parts of the council’s coastal belt.
Yemaren, in a statement issued on Tuesday by his press secretary, Zosu Solomon, cautioned individuals, groups, and companies engaged in unlawful mining to desist immediately.
He described the activities as reckless, criminal, and destructive, stressing that they pose serious dangers to the environment and residents of Badagry West.
“We have received information about ongoing illegal mining at Falola and other areas across our coastal communities. These activities are reckless, criminal, and destructive. Let it be known that anyone found culpable will be arrested, prosecuted, and their equipment seized. Illegal mining is an assault on our environment and our people, and it will not be tolerated,” Yemaren said.
He assured residents that the council would continue to collaborate with security agencies, environmental regulators, and the Lagos State Government to clamp down on offenders.
