The Media Coalition Against Illegal Mining is calling on the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to arrest and prosecute the owners of a mining site at Asumenya, near Manso Nkran for kidnapping, assaulting, and seizing the equipment of three staff members of The Multimedia Group.
The three staff members including Erastus Asare Donkor were attacked by armed men claiming to work for Edelmetallum Resources Limited in the Ashanti Region.
Over ten heavily armed men forcibly abducted the team, took them to an undisclosed location, subjected them to brutal beatings, and later abandoned them.
The team had been filming the destruction caused by illegal mining when the attack occurred.
