What investigation when evidence is with you there, waiting for investigation, they will escape like Binance because they have sponsors. If it is in Rivers/Bayelsa you will not wait for investigation. Look at the  illegal gold mining in Zamfara and other solid minerals in the north east, they are private and no go area for federal government but, any mineral in the south has federal government interest, is that one Nigeria?
