The Enugu State government has arrested six persons and confiscated seven trucks in Obollo-Afor over an alleged violation of its mining ban.
The arrest of the suspects followed a visit to the mining site by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Energy and Solid Minerals, Dr. Kingsley Nnaji, and the Divisional Police Officer of Obollo-Afor, Ignatius Attah, on Thursday.
The state government on September 15 banned all mining activities in the state.
