Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, has said the at­tempt by some illegal miners to forcibly take over some parts of the Obuasi mine legitimately granted to AngloGold Ashanti Ghana Limit­ed, is unacceptable.

Condemning the situation, he said, it was like somebody entering into someone's legally acquired house and demanding a room to satisfy one's need for shelter.

He, therefore, intoned: "It is not acceptable for people to take the law into their own hands to go and disturb legitimate business.

Anglo­Gold and Obuasi are intertwined.
