Traditional leaders in Konongo have taken dramatic spiritual action against illegal miners, storming a local galamsey site with a crate of eggs to invoke curses on those polluting local waterbodies.
Invoking the wrath of the river deity Apontuah, the chiefs declared that recalcitrant operators would suffer severe repercussions if they persisted with their destructive activities.
Addressing the site, the traditional leaders expressed frustration that previous warnings and appeals to halt the pollution had been completely ignored, leaving them with no alternative but to seek spiritual intervention to safeguard their remaining water sources.
The traditional authority issued a stern warning, cautioning that the palace would offer no sanctuary or mediation to anyone struck down by the deity.
The incident has sparked widespread conversation amongst local residents, many of whom noted that the environmental degradation caused by galamsey has rendered daily life increasingly difficult across Konongo and neighboring towns.
Firm in their resolve, the chiefs reaffirmed their commitment to working alongside security personnel to permanently eradicate illegal mining from the area.
