In an interview on Angel Morning Show on Wednesday, August 14, 2023, an ex-galamseyer disclosed that his colleagues make blood sacrifices to ensure that they get the needed yield from a galamsey pit. New-born babies, he added, are mostly the target of these galamseyers.
"They are pounded in empty cylinder cans and sprinkled in the pits as part of our blood sacrifices so we can get enough gold to mine…," he revealed. Interestingly, these babies, he said, are supplied to the miners by some nurses for as much as GH¢50,000 per baby.
