A bold move against Galamsey; Dormaahene leads raids on galamsey sites

Dormaa-Akwamu witnessed a strong anti-galamsey operation today as Dormaahene Osaagyefo Oseadeeyo Dr. Agyemang Badu II, alongside the Dormaa anti-galamsey task force and chiefs, moved decisively against illegal miners.

Three suspects were arrested, and seven water pumping machines used for galamsey were seized during raids at Akontanim and Kobedi. The seized equipment and suspects have been handed over to the Ghana Police Service.

Dormaahene issued a stern warning, urging all illegal miners on Dormaa stool lands to stop immediately or face harsh consequences if caught. This effort signals the council’s firm commitment to protecting the environment and sustaining community welfare.
