The swoop, conducted by the joint force comprised members of the Ghana Police service, NADMO and some staff of Dormaa East District Assembly, led Emmanuel Kofi Agyeman the District Chief Executive.
This formed part of the government’s renewed fight against illegal small-scale mining, otherwise known as “galamsey”. The suspects were handed over to Wamfie Police for processing and prosecution.
The suspects were found engaging in illegal mining in defiance of the government's ban that continued to wreak havoc on the environment and water bodies.
