    It's just a False belief, Let President John Dramani Mahama declare a State of Emergency and when 20 or 30 are shut dead on the spot, by our soldiers their senses will come back.

  • FRANKIE 2 weeks ago

    These are the kind of people we have as leaders! Telling the whole world that galamseyers are "believed to be spiritually fortified". What the hell and heck and fvck are you doing there as a leader? If they're " Spiritually f ...

    No christian or Moslem should challenge this man. If you do then you don't understand the koran or scriptures

    Africa paaa, when are we going to free ourselves of this archaic and primitive mentality? If people in leadership positions still have this mindset in this day and age then we are doomed, aren't we?

    Whether the fortification works or not, depends on the size of the gun.

  • Carmenio 2 weeks ago

    Lazy black fool. In this age of drones technology in combat operations, this ancient mammal is here talking foolishly like a child. How can this boy be heading a whole regional forestry commission

    SIMPLE SOLUTION:

    CHIEF OF ANY COMMUNITY WHERE GALAMSAY HAPPENS MUST BE ARRRESTED TO EXPLAIN. NO GALAMSAY CAN HAPPEN IN ANY COMMUNITY WITHOUT CHIEF'S KNOWLEDGE. THEY OWN THE LAND.

    This man is fit to command the galamsey operational team,how can he be telling the whole world of this story.

  • Johnny 2 weeks ago

    If I was a soldier I will never join NAIMOS on any operation. Why go to galamsey site to arrest these criminals when I know I don't have the authority to shoot them? It's very risky to join this exercise.

  • Ghanaman 2 weeks ago

    Maybe their fortifications work for a small gun...but as the size of the gun increases, a point is reached where the fortification demon says " this one, it 's above my powers oh", and you are left to your fate.

    That’s exactly the reason Africa is what it is today. We tend to ascribe spiritual reasoning to every problem we face. Since we are powerless to face the spirits, we decide not to fight and solve the problems. Until we rid ...
