A group calling itself Finders Forum Ghana is calling on the Akufo-Addo’s government and the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) to withdraw the Operation Vanguard Task Force and allow small scale miners, media, police and local government authorities take charge in the fight against galamsey.
According to the group, the move will pave way for the military to register its vengeance on the citizenry alleged to be engaged in illegal mining operations.
Finders Forum Ghana expressed fear that alleged killing of galamseyers in mining sites will increase if the Task force is not withdrawn.
‘Take a look at the recent happenings where the task force burnt the machines and tools of the galamseyers if they retaliated, the outcome would have been disastrous,’ a statement signed by the Executive Director of Finders Forum Ghana Osman Rahim Hassan said.
