Taraba State Launches New Task Force Against Illegal Mining | Nigeria News

Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas has launched a high-impact crackdown on illegal mining with a new eight-member task force led by Major A.M. Ghali, targeting environmental destruction and enforcing strict state orders. Backed by multiple security agencies, the unit replaces all previous committees, signaling a unified, aggressive push — most recently shutting down an illegal mining site in Garin Jatau where three suspects were arrested. The governor’s broader moratorium on mining activities continues, and this new team will collaborate with mobile courts and report directly to the Secretary to the State Government to ensure swift, coordinated enforcement against illegal operations.
