A violent operation involving personnel of the National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS) has reportedly resulted in the deaths of two individuals and left another person with an amputated hand at Dome Keniago in the Amansie South District of the Ashanti Region.
The tragic incident, which unfolded during a raid by the anti-galamsey task force, has plunged the entire farming and mining community into profound grief, fear, and apprehension.
Speaking in an interview on Rainbow Radio’s flagship news bulletin, Nyankonton Mu Nsem, the Chief of Dome Keniago, Nana Obeng Mensah Ababio, revealed that the operations of the task force turned chaotic, leading to the casualties.
The traditional ruler further disclosed that he has been forced into hiding following alleged threats to his life by operatives of the secretariat during the commotion.
Appalled by the turn of events, traumatised residents have made an urgent appeal to the government, the Inspector-General of Police, and the higher command of NAIMOS to launch a thorough investigation into the raid and ensure those responsible face the full rigor of the law.
The leadership of NAIMOS has yet to issue an official response regarding the allegations surrounding the operation. Meanwhile, Nyankonton Mu Nsem continues to track developments closely and will update the public as more details surface.
