“Ghana is becoming lawlessness, where any citizen from any country can come in and do anything at all.”
The Minister disclosed that, per his checks, these illegal Russians and Ukrainian miners have been mining in the area for the past 35 years, and they have not paid a single royalty to Ghana.
“Look at the kind of ore they are extracting from the site, this cannot continue, and it must be stopped.”
According him, Chinese nationals seem to dominate foreigners, who are illegally mining in Ghana, but, “today, we met Russians and Ukrainians, and there are a lot of people out there from Burkina Faso and Togo.”
Responding to a question, Mr. Amewu noted: “I think people holding responsible positions must begin to answer questions. The fight is on-going; we will continue to do our best.
“Meanwhile, at the time of filing this story, the four arrested illegal miners, in the persons of Coemwotti Putats, Chepaiyin Serchii, Farid Issaer and Vadim, were at the Ashanti Regional Police Command, waiting to be processed to Accra for further interrogation.
In a telephone interaction with the Public Relations Director of the GAF, Col Aggrey Quarshie, he noted that the military had not sanctioned anybody to Manso Tontokrom, and that the military hierarchy will open an inquiry into the issue, and try to unravel the truth about it.

Why, is he the only person to ever be killed unlawfully in Ghana? The family appears to be making the most out of their son's demise. Be moderate in your utterances.

Instead of thinking how the guys children can be helped you are asking for monument. Then all Ghanaians who have been killed and lynched, as well as jailed illegally deserve a monument too. What about that.

Anybody knows you hear the name Mahama and you know some sophisticated fishy business or crime is being committed using various institutions as their camouflage cover . You listen to the various videos and you may even hear the gunshots of the captain shooting at the people but no where was he shouting as required to identify himself. Because the people are Akans its easier to blame them instead of finding out the truth. The story doesnt add up , anyone who has taken the time to travel around most pats of the Central region will observe even in the middle of the night even white girls , tourists Europeans and other foreigners walking alone or roaming around unaccompanied and nothing ever happens to them . But then again every once in a while we hear of some white-man being killed because of some gold deal. Lynching is wrong but this has elements of self defense and over reactions to it, remember he fired his gun at the people before with courage they disarmed him . It would have been better if they had handed him over to the police but we all know he would have paid a bribe and those who had apprehended him would have been languishing in jail . There can be no peace without the assurance of justice. On this forum we notice all the lying hypocrites who have come out to condemn the town but fail to notice the crimes committed like corruption , nepotism , incompetence etc. A sin is a sin and a crime a crime , why turn a blind eye to corruption and yet talk shit about one lynch. Police stations are being burned to the ground and now most security agency personnel are scared and shitting in their pants because soon the people will arise. Npp , Ndc and most of the media are in a hype propaganda mode to blame the innocent people of the town rather than properly look at the suspicious activities of the captain . First he was jogging alone with a gun in plain sight . Rather than identify himself chose to engage in shooting at the residents , a sign of substandard training or criminal intent . He was on duty and an officer but had no other lower ranking soldiers accompanying him , was he deployed there to be on holiday so could go jogging around ? Never trust these security forces especially the army as they are involved in all kinds of criminal activity and always have sophisticated propaganda lies to make it appear they did nothing wrong. A wise man once said its stupidity to know the truth but chose to believe the lie.

A statu of Captain Mahama should be erected at the spot where he was lynched to forever serve as a reminder to the People of that town the crime against humanity.
It will be a legacy to Captain Mahama that his death was not in vain and he will forever be remembered as the one whose death stopped the PRIMITIVE mob justice.

You go to the village and build it. I still don't believe that the whole story is out. These illegals taking our resources, not paying anything are there for some greedy unworthy politicians.

As we try to streamline small scale mining and the statutes that should guide it, maybe it would rather be better to name the Act that would be proposed and passed by Parliament against illegal mining and galamsey after him, so this unfortunate incident and mining, the role of our natural resources to development, anf the protection of our environment and water bodies can have proper relevance and context.
