In a shocking revelation that further highlights the complexities surrounding illegal mining in Ghana, a video has surfaced showing individuals, allegedly soldiers, accepting payments at a galamsey site.
The footage, released by a worker involved in the illegal mining operations, has ignited a wave of outrage and concern over the involvement of military personnel in these illicit activities.
The video begins with the galamsey operator discussing the situation candidly, asserting that calls for the cessation of galamsey activities are misguided.
He claims that even military officials are complicit in the ongoing operations, suggesting a troubling nexus between illegal mining and elements within the armed forces. "Those advocating against galamsey don't know what's happening," the operator states, hinting at a deeper issue of corruption that permeates the sector.
