Two illicit miners arrested with “significant diamonds” are undergoing investigation at the Ministry of Justice, an official source disclosed here Tuesday during a press briefing at the Ministry of Information.
Lands, Mines and Energy Minister Patrick Sendolo disclosed the arrest and investigation of the illicit miners, but declined to comment on details.
He said: “The Justice Ministry is currently looking into that case for now; and so we don’t want to say anything further. “When the time comes for us to speak on it we will let you know; and all I can say now is that these people were caught with a significant diamonds.”
The illicit mining and smuggling of uncut diamonds by rebel factions in Liberia for self benefits prompted the United Nations to ban the export of Liberian gems until that right was restored recently to Liberia but strictly in conformity with the Kimberly Process.
