The Ministry of Solid Minerals Development collaborated with the DSS, engaging the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) to track and intercept the convoy. Dr. Dele Alak emphasized the ministry's commitment to enforcing a zero-tolerance policy against illegal mining to protect Nigeria's valuable mineral resources.
