According to him "It is for our best interest and the interest of the entire community that we are here to lay complaints and seek your support to fight these illegal sand miners who are bent on destroying our environment and community as a whole.


" The only road that leads to Ogbaru is being tampered with, Akili Ozizor has lost not less than 15 houses to erosion because of illegal mining, it is giving us concern and we cannot keep quiet anymore", he lamented. 


Responding, the Managing Director/CEO of Anambra State Solid Minerals Development Company Limited, Prof.Charles O.Ofoegbu hinted that despite several attempts by the state government to stop every illegal mining activities going in the state, pending when they are cleared to mine, some non state actors have decided to go contrary to the government's directives. 


He condemned the act and frowned at the length at which people can go to endanger the lives and livelihoods of their fellow human being in the quest for wealth.


Prof. Ofoegbu who is also the Chairman, Anambra State Mining Reform Committee while reiterating the state government's commitment towards reforming the mining sector, assured them that all necessary steps would be taken to stop their activities.
