“Thirteen local miners were killed by bandits in the Kuriga area of Kaduna state.

“It’s baffling how the Chinese mine dealers operating within Kaduna and Niger states are getting full security protection while their local counterparts are left at the mercy of terrorists,” Sani wrote on his verified Twitter handle on Tuesday.
