The Aowin Traditional Council in the Western Region is calling on the government, the Forestry Commission and other relevant stakeholders to help halt the destruction of forest reserves in the Aowin Municipality.
This appeal follows fresh invasions of the Tano Anwia, Tano Nimri, and Yooyoo forest reserves by illegal miners.
Members of the Aowin Traditional Council have accused the Member of Parliament for the area, Oscar Ofori Larbi, of fueling illegal mining activities in the Tano Anwia forest reserve.
The said forests have recently come under siege by illegal miners, allegedly led by known National Democratic Congress (NDC) activists in the Aowin Municipality.
