The Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dele Alake, on Thursday vowed that the Federal Government would prosecute foreign nationals funding bandits in the country.
Alake, who gave the warning in a statement issued in Abuja by his Special Assistant on Media, Segun Tomori, said any foreigner caught by security agents for such an act would be prosecuted for economic sabotage and war against the Nigerian state.
He said the warning followed preliminary reports on the funding of banditry by non-Nigerians in the mining industry.
