E/R: NAIMOS Taskforce Besieges Galamsey Sites at Oda Nkwanta and Akanteng Asamankese

The National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat (NAIMOS) taskforce has conducted a major operation targeting illegal mining sites in the Eastern Region.

The operation focused on two key areas — Oda Nkwanta in the Birim Central Municipality and Akanteng Asamankese.

Upon reaching Akanteng Asamankese, the taskforce located two illegal mining sites with six excavators hidden in the surrounding bushes.

Of the six, only two still had their monitors intact — both were immobilized. The remaining four had been stripped of their control components.

Local residents reported that the miners’ operations had polluted nearby streams and water bodies, including one that flows directly into the River Birim.
