Here is the tiktoker Abdul Aminu Gwaska, a native of Zamfara State, who acts as the head of a dangerous mining syndicate currently expanding its footprint across Ilesha. The documented evidence reveals that he coordinates multiple high intensity illegal mining sites by actively recruiting a massive influx of external laborers to carry out the physical excavation and processing of gold.
To fuel this operation, his syndicate even utilizes a digital recruitment and sales infrastructure, providing a direct link for individuals to submit their personal information to join the illicit trade or purchase their illegal products.
Furthermore, intelligence shows that Aminu is actively collaborating with local village heads and traditional chiefs, who welcome and house these illegal miners within the community. This high level collusion grants his syndicate a social shield, effectively protecting their activities from accountability while they systematically destroy farmlands and pollute vital water bodies.
If this dangerous partnership between illegal miners and local leadership is allowed to persist, it will inevitably lead to a total security breach. The Osun State government must take immediate and decisive action to dismantle this network before this deep-seated collaboration spirals into an uncontrollable regional crisis
OSINT: illegal mining of Gold in Ilesha, Osun state. I am aware of legal miners in Ilesha (Segilola Mining company) but this mining site does belong to the company.
Osun state Govt needs to work on illegal mining sites in Atorin-Ijesha, Ibodi, Faforiji, Itagumodi and Igun. Many of the artisans migrated from Zamfara State, this particular Tiktoker is from Zamfara State.
