Galamsey Fight: Attack on NAIMOS team a 'test case' for Mahama – Awula Serwah

The coordinator of the environmental advocacy group Eco-Conscious Citizens, Awula Serwah, has called on President John Dramani Mahama to take immediate and decisive action following the latest galamsey-related attack, describing it as a “test case” for the government’s commitment to combating illegal mining.

Her remarks come after reports emerged of a mob assault on a NAIMOS team conducting an anti-galamsey operation over the weekend, which required police intervention to protect the officers.

The NAIMOS officers had earlier apprehended two suspected illegal miners and seized vehicles and equipment at a site roughly ten meters from the Hwidiem–Goaso Highway.

Awula Serwah describes the attack as a “test case” for the government.
