The Minister for the Interior, Mr Mubarak Muntaka Mohammed, has issued a directive to the security services to arrest anyone who attempts to obstruct anti-galamsey operations, regardless of their political connections or claimed authority.
Addressing senior officers at the 17th Regional Commanders’ Conference held in Accra on Friday, July 17, 2025, the minister asked the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno, and officials of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to deal with anyone interfering in the operations.
He posited that these individuals should be treated as suspects, even if they invoke his name.
“If anybody calls you to say I have asked that you should let go of this operation, please ensure that you arrest that person,” he declared.
“If someone calls and claims to be me, let the CID take action and arrest that person.”
“I will not send you into the forest only to call back and ask you to exempt someone. That will never come from me,” he stressed.
