Why would the National security take over a licensed organised underground small scale mining, drive away the workers and ask people with pump action guns to mine the facility? Ashanti Regional Security Liason, Capt. Rtd Mohammed Gyabari, tells me he was asked by his bosses in Accra to secure the mine. His boss in-charge of operations says he has given no such order.
What’s going on?National security drove out the owner and workers of the mine at Akatakyieso, in the Adansi North district, put men armed with pump action guns.They have illegally started the private equipment and have been operating the licensed private underground mine for four days now.
Who are they mining for? This is the mine which won the admiration of a government committee on mining recently for their organised mining.
