Speaking at the Regional Command Conference at the Police Headquarters on Friday, March 21, 2025, IGP Yohuno highlighted the severe security risks posed by illegal mining, particularly in forest reserves and mining communities.

He noted that in regions such as Western North, armed criminals have attacked innocent civilians and forest guards, worsening the crisis.

“Illegal mining poses a security risk, particularly in our forest reserves and mining communities. In regions like the Western North and many others, armed criminals have carried out brutal attacks on innocent people, including forest guards without justification.
