Netizens have called on the Ghana Police to arrest of a young man threatening to rob and take the lives of people after he was stopped from engaging in illegal mining.

According to him, because he was asked to stop the galamsey, he was forced to pack his tools at home.

He added that this will prevent him from making money to feed himself and his family.

Meanwhile, as part of its continuous efforts to tackle illegal mining, sometimes known as "galamsey," the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) have launched a new partnership with small-scale miners.
