Spokesperson for Vice President , Dr.
Gideon Boako, has condemned persons involved in illegal mining activities, particularly those who mine in water bodies.
According to him, such actions are inherently evil due to their devastating impacts on the environment and the country's water resources.
According to a report by myjoyonline.com, he made these remarks in an interview on Peace FM on Monday, October 7, 2024, pointing out that the pollution of the water resources threatens the livelihoods of communities that depend on clean water for cooking, drinking, farming, and other activities.
