An illegal mining site at Tukashara Wasa, Apo, in Abuja Municipal Area Council was on October 30 raided by the Presidential Guards Brigade.

No fewer than 60 suspected illegal miners were apprehended at the site, said Defence spokesman Musa Danmadami on Thursday.

Mr Danmadami, an army major-general, said the troops also confiscated two trailers loaded with illegally mined items.

He gave the update during the bi-weekly media briefing by the directorate of Defence Media Operations at the Defence headquarters in Abuja.

On the terror alert by the U.S. Embassy in Abuja, the Director, Defence Information, Major-General Jimmy Akpor, said the Nigerian military and other security agencies were not relenting on their responsibilities to protect the citizens.

Mr Akpor said the nation’s security agencies were not oblivious of the security situation in the country, adding that the country did not rely on any foreign power to safeguard its citizens.

He urged the media to support the military and security agencies in feeding the public with the right information as they emanated from the managers of the nation’s security.
