Six fully loaded trucks containing lithium were allegedly found with the suspects, according to a statement released by EFCC Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale.
The suspected illegal miners according to Oyewale are: Yunusa Adisa, Ganiyu Kazeem, Muideen Babayemi, Sulaiman Usman, Adeleke Waliu, Tiamiyu Rokeeb, Olusola Sunday, Oyedokun Oluwagbemiga, Sulaimon Ishiaq and Olufimihan Eniola.
