The videos are there for these criminals to be identified and punished.
The Police commander should serve a long jail sentence with supervised hard labour.

You are condeming and passing judgement on somebody because you believe what a politician said? What happened to fair hearing? She went into the district without the knowledge of the police and got into trouble. She then runs to the police to accuse them of obstruction her . Let her show video evidence of the gang that block her the same way she shared video talking to the police commander

How to stop this galamsey. Is not about imprisonment but rather whipping them in public areas will be helpful to stop this illegal mining.
I suggest anyone caught doing illegal mining that person is liable to receive 50 strong lashes in a public area. Trust me that will work. Imprison him and feed him three times a day. It won't solve the problem

Exactly these criminals are armed and you go with the very police who are aiding and abetting these galamsey operatives. Go with special army commandos with the mandate to shoot and kill armed galamseyers.

You just see how corrupt the police is in Ghana. You see how the police were trying to stop the Chinese from being arrested. Sad indeed.

It is only NPP's foolsoldiers, whose comments are not for the development of Ghana. The NDC's Government never promised illegal miners or Chinese illegal miners of illegal mining. Some few months ago, the NPP fool soldiers made noise about Government not fighting illegal miners. Now that government is effectively arresting them, they are again making noise Lol

How do you perform such operation without the involvement of local police within the jurisdiction of the illegal minning. Is very dangerous.

She is lying. Why would she be going to arrest Chinese illegal miners in the first place? It is the job of the police! She and her team went into a district without informing the district security agents...they are lucky they did not get harmed. Let us learn to work with the requisite security agents instead these Rambo style.

Hannah baby,all these yarns you have been weaving is for the consumption of your imbecilic supporters who have nothing to cheer about after the D-Levy deceit,the government deployed hundreds of soldiers,policemen,NIB,CID operatives,helicopters and drones to arrest Chairman Wontumi alone,when you went on your so-called operation where were all those assets deployed in the Wontumi operation? My take is that you mobilized your land guards and armed robbers on leave of absence to go and extort gold and money from the galamseyers that’s why they were emboldened to do what they did,if you had died it would have been due to your foolishness and greed.

The local police are benefiting from the activities. If they informed them earlier, they would get there and no single person will be found there.It is the proper the village who are ignorance, if they know that in 5yrs to come they may be feeling the effects of the mining activities, like they will even help the team to arrest all.
