The search for missing persons feared trapped in a collapsed illegal mining (galamsey) pit at Mpasatia in the Ashanti Region has entered its second day.
Community members, with the support of the police, recovered two bodies on Tuesday, April 1, but it remains unclear if others are still trapped beneath the debris.
The search effort has intensified, with more locals joining after a call for support from traditional authorities.
Leader of the search party Kwaku Duah, explained that they had been working since 5 am, using basic tools to dig through the sand in hopes of finding more victims.
