A group of journalists were manhandled by some illegal miners at Breman- Adomanya forest in the Amenfi west district of the western region on Friday, February 22, 2025.
They include Nana Fynn of ABN, Citi News reporter Akwasi Agyei Annim, and Rok FM reporter Jacob Baah, who were on a diligent quest to expose the galamsey menace and were assaulted with their production equipment being damaged in the full glare of their police escort.
Some Chinese and their Ghanaian accomplice illegal miners or galamsey operators have taken over a 261-acre land in the Breman-Adomanya forest area of the Wassa Amenfi West District in the Western Region, devastating timber, cocoa, and rubber plantation as well as polluting the nearby River Tano.
Despite such activities taking place under the full glare of police personnel in and around the Asankragwa area, there seems to be no concerted effort to stop them thereby pushing the media to bring out such activities in the open.
