Prominent lawyer Martin Kpebu and Dr.
Kenneth Ashigbey have petitioned the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service, expressing frustration over the prolonged delay in investigating Akonta Mining Ltd and its chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, for alleged illegal mining activities in the Tano Nimiri Forest Reserve.
In a letter dated February 24, 2025, and addressed to COP Faustina Andoh-Kwofie, the two complainants reminded the CID that they had initially filed their petition on October 13, 2022.
However, since then, they have received little to no updates on the progress of the investigations.
