According to Audi, comprehensive investigations exonerated Onoja, the lead prosecutor and other members of the unit's management team.
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has cleared the Commander of its Mining Marshals Unit, Assistant Commandant of Corps (ACC) John Onoja Attah, of allegations linking him to the alleged diversion of N2 billion and a purported cover-up surrounding the death of an operative, Deputy Superintendent of Corps (DSC) Levi Agada.
The announcement came as the Corps disclosed that it had sanctioned 79 personnel for various acts of misconduct, including the dismissal of two members of the Mining Marshals Unit for allegedly supplying firearms to illegal miners.
Speaking in Abuja on Wednesday, the Commandant-General of the NSCDC, Ahmed Audi, represented by the Corps' spokesperson, Babawale Afolabi, said internal investigations found no evidence implicating Onoja or the management of the Mining Marshals Unit in the allegations.
According to Audi, comprehensive investigations exonerated Onoja, the lead prosecutor and other members of the unit's management team.
