How a Ghanaian confronted a Chinese man leading galamsey in his community

A Ghanaian man bravely confronted a Chinese man, who said he is called Akufo-Addo and is leading illegal small-scale mining (galamsey) activities in his community in Obuasi in the Ashanti Region.

A viral video sighted by GhanaWeb, showed the man instructing the Chinese man to stop his men, who were mining.

The two men could be seen arguing on top of a damaged vehicle in what appeared to be a forest area.

“Go and stop them, you say your name is Akufo-Addo; I say go and stop them,” the Ghanaian man told the Chinese man.

“Share this video; they are destroying the land here in Obuasi, Kwabrakwa, and Ampashwe. When I confronted them, this Chinese man is telling me that he is called Akufo-Addo and he is a Ghanaian,” the man said in Twi.

The Chinese man could be seen in the video wearing a face mask and gesturing and mammering some words.

At one point, he took out his mobile phone and placed a call.
