 The Taraba State Governor, Aguilcafes, has ordered the special tax force on illegal mining and deforestation to destroy equipment used by illegal miners in some looking government areas of the state. Receiving the committee's report at the Government House, Angelingo, the governor said it is better for illegal miners to lose their equipment than for the resident to be killed by pollution from their illegal activities. The general of the committee appeals to the governor to declare a state of emergency and some looking government areas of the state as a result of damages done to the land by illegal miners. The tax force, you still have my mandate to continue our operation, any equipment that you see outside without anything, destroy it, destroy it, it is better to destroy the equipment than to cost lives of people. The second phase of your engagement is operation, cleaning up illegal activities in the Taraba State. Please bear in mind that the committee is forced to carry out their manageability with all sense of professionalism.
