NAIMOS Team Combs Samreboi
The National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Secretariat task force has combed Samreboi in the Amenfi West Municipality as part of its sustained nationwide offensive against illegal mining.
The operation was conducted on December 7, 2025, between 15:45 hours and 19:23 hours, with officers moving deliberately through difficult terrain under tight operational discipline, according to a report by the Forestry Commission.
Perpetrators are said to have fled the scene on sighting the specialised team.
The officers secured and dismantled three pumping machines and recovered one active control board used for coordinating washing operations.
“An engine at the site was rendered inoperable, and several water hoses were destroyed to prevent any immediate return to illegal activity. The terrain showed extensive excavation, with large loads of mineral-bearing material already prepared for washing, underscoring the scale and environmental damage that had been underway.”
“Throughout the mission, the operatives displayed high levels of professionalism, resilience, and operational maturity. Working under firm command and central remote coordination, the team demonstrated readiness and morale despite the challenging field conditions. Their commitment reflected a clear understanding that their work directly protects water bodies, farmlands, and national resources from irreversible destruction.”
